The Government will also act to try to stop evictions for non-payment of rent after an agreement between the first vice president of the Government, Carmen Calvo, and the third, Pablo Iglesias, reached in recent days. Calvo has told this morning that Iglesias called her on Thursday to convey her concern about the scope of this matter at a time when the vice president herself finalizes a royal decree law with measures for the evictions caused by foreclosures.

This royal decree law will be approved on Tuesday in the Council of Ministers and plans to extend the term of the moratorium on mortgage evictions and that "more vulnerable people can take advantage of it," according to sources from Moncloa. But, after that conversation between the two vice-presidents - in the spotlight for the disagreements between PSOE and the United We can, on account of the new Sexual Freedom law - it has also been resolved to modify the Urban Leasing Law (LAU) to try to alleviate the evictions when the rent is stopped, in specific cases of necessity. "I told him," Calvo explained, "that we had the LAU reform at its doorstep and that I thought it was the right way to approach it and it seemed fine."

It is, according to Calvo, a "reasonable" agreement that combines the "political concern of the entire Government with an adequate political response" and that was not initially included in the programmatic pact between the two parties that make up the Coalition Executive.

The Government has confirmed that it is an extension of its initial pact that wants to "put a stop to another scourge that our country suffers: evictions for non-payment of rent." "Within the framework of the already planned reform of the Urban Leasing Law, we will take the necessary measures to prevent this type of evictions, especially those that occur in areas of stressed rental market and by large holders of housing that are dedicated to the market real estate. " From the Executive it is officially highlighted that Calvo e Iglesias "have worked hand in hand", a note that evidences the attempt to leave behind the tension that has caused the delay and the subsequent touches imposed by the vice president to the new Law on Sexual Freedom of the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero , and who has made it the object of harsh criticism by United Podemos.

The vice president herself highlighted this morning at RNE that she will continue the work of government coordination and stressed that she has the "absolute confidence" of the chief executive, Pedro Sánchez.
