The leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, continues to deploy his legislative offensive, in the face of the parliamentary paralysis of the government, and announces a Housing Access Plan, which envisages “sitting at a table” for the sector and experts, and who plans a presentation next November. Beforehand, he will submit to Congress the bill with which he will seek to accelerate land release procedures, increase rental supply through tax incentives and combat illegal occupation. The standard will be supplemented by a new plan aimed -exclusively- at increasing the real estate supply. “There is no access to housing if there is no housing,” Feijóo said during his speech at the La Toja-Vínculo Atlántico Forum.
“It is the young people of today who will build and defend the democracy of tomorrow. We must therefore strive not to leave them at the mercy of the siren songs of anti-system options which exist in many countries.” European countries”, he assured. Feijóo, which will concentrate its initiatives on those under 35. This will also harm its plan for tax advantages aimed at increasing supply. “It seems reasonable to protect those who are “comply with it, whether they are owners, whether they are tenants, whether they are buyers or whether they are vulnerable”, underlined the leader of the PP, who revealed that he would detail the measures of this plan during of these weeks.
A few months ago, the PP started a conflict with the government over housing policy. Génova accuses Sánchez of “legislative incompetence.” A few weeks ago, the Executive was forced to withdraw – for the second time – the land bill from its processing. They also target the housing law promoted by Moncloa in 2023, which they accuse of causing an increase in rent prices. In fact, the most popular will attempt to overturn the norm in Congress. “No country can resist it nor broken promises can solve it. The government has failed and the housing incidents must stop,” said the leader of the People’s Party.
The initiative they will take in the Lower House proposes to remove the stressed zone declaration and remove other sections of the law, such as reducing the rent ceiling to declare a tenant as vulnerable. Feijóo suggests leaving it at 1,050 euros, compared to the 1,800 euros set by legislation. According to the current text, evictions for non-payment are canceled if the tenant does not reach this income ceiling. “They made prices skyrocket by discouraging supply,” the popular leader said.
