The Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodriguez, She was the first Castilian-La Mancha socialist to speak at the 41st Federal Congress of the PSOE in an intervention where accused the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, of “putting obstacles” to government action in this case and argued for establish regulations because “the open bar in housing policy is suffocating millions of people.”
Housing was the theme chosen by the socialists to open this Congress event which will be held throughout the weekend in Seville. During this first forum event, Rodríguez shared the stage with the mayor of Getafe, Sara Hernandez; the Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda of the Basque Country, Denis Itaxo and the leader of the Cantabrian socialists, Pablo Zuloaga.
During his speech, Isabel Rodríguez justified the action of Pedro Sánchez’s government on housingwith the approval of the Housing Law, although he denounced the “studs in the wheels” of the PP communities, more specifically in Madrid, he reported European press.
“Ms. Ayuso causes thousands of Madrid residents to find themselves trapped in a rental market which implies that they must devote 60, 70 or 80% of their income, or even 100%, of their salary to paying the rent,” criticized Castilian-La Manche.
On the contrary, he defended that his party advocated “regulation” because “the open bar doesn’t work” in terms of housing. At this point he highlighted that the socialist mayors of the Community of Madrid are indeed demanding that Ayuso implements the Housing Law.
“This government believes in the State of Autonomies and respects its powers, but above all it demands that These powers are always exercised in favor of citizens“, he concluded.
