Once the Housing law was approved in Congress, which Alberto Núñez Feijóo does not stop criticizing, the president of the PP has focused this Friday on highlighting the problem of occupation that, in his opinion, the new regulation does not contemplate and even encourages because the text is more sensitive to “the one who occupies” than to the owner who suffers it, to such an extent that “the mafias that in many cases are behind the occupations” are not persecuted.
After a visit to the vicinity of a squatted house in the Torreforta neighborhood of Tarragona together with the president of the PP of Catalonia, Alejandro Fernández, and the candidate for mayor of Tarragona, MarÃa Mercè Martorell, the leader of the PP has indicated that the law It means that in Spain today “we are worse than yesterday”, because it is an “interventionist, populist and not very serious” norm, which is simply “the price that Pedro Sánchez has had to pay to continue in his house, the La Moncloa palace “.
For Feijóo, the law does not help the owners of occupied houses at all and to counteract it, the president of the PP proposes measures such as not charging the owner the taxes on the occupied house while it is occupied since he cannot enjoy it. Likewise, the popular leader proposes that a house in this situation cannot be the address that appears in the register of the people who occupy it, because that supposes, according to him, a double injustice for the owner and for the rights that are given to the occupant. with the register
Feijóo stresses that the housing law is a law “dictated by Bildu”, which adds to Sánchez’s electoral proposals” after “having done nothing” for five years, with which he asks the Spaniards not to believe the promises of new homes that Sánchez is shelling out, and of which he has already lost count, and which for him are simple “castles in the air”.
As the PP considers that housing is indeed “a problem” and especially for certain social sectors, young people, the working classes, large families and single-parent families, Feijóo proposed a State pact for housing that allows access for these sectors to a good that many citizens cannot opt ​​for, and more with the rise in mortgages.
In addition to the measures announced so far to help rent and buy a home: 1,000 euros for the first expenses”, guarantee 15% of the mortgage that banks do not usually give to those who request credit, or put 10% of the public land of the administrations to build rental housing, at a price between 30 and 40% cheaper than the market price, the president of the PP advanced other measures to help families who have already bought the house but have difficulties to pay it due to the rise in mortgages, and it is to talk with the banks to create a solidarity fund, modifying the conditions of the mortgage, so that they can pay it, and help with up to 750 euros a year due to the increase in cost.
In addition to housing, Feijóo took advantage of his stay in Tarragona to claim a “tolerant” Spain and Catalonia, where languages, historical nationalities, the Constitution and the territorial system are respected “arising from the 1978 Constitution.
One Spain and one Catalonia, he stressed, in which they stop dividing us, and where problems are prioritized. Feijóo said it is about rescuing “the cosmopolitan and inclusive Catalonia, the open Catalonia” that has existed since the approval of the Constitution.
