The Balearic Association of National and International Real Estate Companies (ABINI) has also joined in the criticism of Jaume Alzamora for selling his house in Artà to a German citizen for 650,000 euros, as reported exclusively by OKDIARIO, at the same time as his party, Més per Mallorca, is defending Ban foreigners from buying houses in the Balearic Islands.
The property company expressed its “strongest condemnation of the hypocrisy and deception of voters” what this operation consists of, carried out by the spokesman of Més in the Consell of Mallorca. “Alzamora proposed to prohibit the purchase of real estate by foreigners to stop real estate speculation, while he himself profits from this speculation“, they denounce from ABINI.
The Balearic real estate agency explained that “this blatant contradiction highlights the double standard of Més per Mallorca and the PSIB-PSOE, which, during the two terms they have governed with Podemos, have initiated a campaign against foreign investment in the real estate sector, arguing that this phenomenon was responsible for the housing crisis facing the Islands.
In this regard, ABINI indicated that “its leaders have demonstrated that They preach one thing and do another.: as is the case of the PSIB-PSOE of Francina Armengol, who sold her headquarters in Alaró to a German citizen for 350,000 euros” and they accuse the Left Pact that governed the archipelago for eight years of being “directly responsible for the serious housing crisis that the islands are suffering.
“Banning the sale of real estate to foreigners is an unrealizable utopia”
Furthermore, ABINI accuses the PSOE, the independentists of Més and Podemos of not having acted “appropriately to avoid the uncontrolled rise in prices and They showed a complete lack of foresight. in the face of growing demand for housing. Similarly, the real estate company calls the proposal to ban the sale of real estate to foreigners an “unrealizable utopia” that they themselves are unable to respect for their economic benefit.
On the other hand, the real estate company explained that this situation is compounded by “a new turning point in the housing crisis: the opinion of unconstitutionality of the 4,000 affordable homes by the government of Pedro Sánchez and Francina Armengol in Madrid, a new obstacle that further stifles the possibilities of access to housing for residents of the Balearic Islands. “The citizens of the Balearic Islands cannot continue to be hostages of such disastrous management.”
Finally, ABINI indicated that it will continue to defend an open and transparent real estate market, where real solutions are promoted to improve access to housing. This must include an increase in the supply of affordable housing, incentives for construction and better urban planning, rather than resorting to demagogic and incoherent measures.
