The Popular Parliamentary Group of the Senate has tabled a bill so that meetings of neighborhood associations can take place electronicallythat the community secretary can issue notifications and summons to owners by email, and that the minute book can be kept in electronic format and medium.
The spokesperson for the Popular Parliamentary Group in the Senate, Alicia García, estimated that modernization and updating is necessary of the Horizontal Property Law, since its approval in 1960.
In this sense, García declared that “in a world that advances digitally and where the European Union has established among its priorities the digitalization of societyit is necessary to facilitate the holding of owners’ meetings and the adoption of agreements by all possible means.
Measurement during the pandemic
The popular spokesperson recalled that, during the pandemic, the Government approved a royal decree so that neighborhood meetings could be held electronically due to capacity limitations due to covid-19 and that this decreased once the pandemic is over.
Meanwhile, he argued, success was visible to attend neighborhood meetings without showing up in person, so García was convinced that this success could be repeated again. Furthermore, the leader of the PP underlined the urgency of approving this law to help with reconstruction in the territories affected by DANA.
“Many houses were damaged by the last DANA and the floods that our country suffered and it is necessary for the communities of owners to come together to be able to repair them,” he said.
Likewise, he expressed the hope that “once the Senate takes it into consideration, it will not be blocked in Congress, as President Armengol is doing with all the ‘Feijoo laws’ approved in the Upper House “.
