• Negotiation Iglesias raises the pulse with the PSOE for the Housing Law

  • Proposals The PSOE proposes a 90% bonus to owners who lower the rent

After the storm of last week between

PSOE and United We can

on account of the model to regulate rents in Spain, both parties are trying in the last hours to lower the tension to achieve meeting points that allow saving the future Housing Law and prevent the negotiations blow up permanently.

Not only the rule itself is at stake, but the

survival of the alliance of the two

government

partners

.

This is probably why the Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda,

José Luis Ábalos

, has made a threat to reach out to the

purple

party on Monday

after the warnings that Pablo Iglesias and his followers launched last week.

The Socialist Party presented a proposal for bonuses to encourage homeowners to lower the rents of their rental homes, but to the team led by

Ione Belarra

, the Secretary of State for Agenda 2030, this proposal not only seems insufficient, but they believe that it does not respect the commitment to limit the prices that the PSOE itself signed in the Government agreement and in the commitment for the General State Budgets.

That is why Vice President Iglesias appealed to said agreement and that is why the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, also warned that, if they do not comply, they will withdraw their support for the norm.

"It could only come out if it goes ahead with the breach of the government agreement with the support of the PP,

with the change of partner by the PSOE,

" said the person in charge of Equality.

The answer has come this Monday in the words of Minister Ábalos, whose Department has led the bill from its origin.

"The law will be born from the agreement because we socialists govern seriously and fulfill our commitments and

I believe that finally, after all the controversies, we will reach an agreement,

" he said at a press conference from Ferraz.

From his lectern, Ábalos has reiterated that "the Housing Law will stop abusive increases in rents, will favor the supply of affordable housing for people with lower income and especially for the young population and the most vulnerable groups. It will regulate policies of housing as a public service of general interest and we will continue working tirelessly to create an authentic public housing stock that cannot be disposed of as the PP did ".

The main problem is that the formula defended by the PSOE to stop the "abusive" increases in rents in some cities of the country is not the same as the one defended by United We Can and neither is willing to change position.

Faced with the socialist bonuses, UP sources reiterate to

EL MUNDO

that "

they are not going to support a law that does not include income limitation,"

although they acknowledge that they are not yet on the stage of getting up from the negotiating table.

Strategic issue

Neither they nor the PSOE.

For both, the future Housing Law is a crucial mission.

For the socialists, because the Government promised to carry out the first regulation of its kind in our country at a time when access to housing is one of the biggest social problems in Spain.

For United We Can, it is also a

question of identity before his electorate

, especially now that Pablo Iglesias has just a few weeks left to begin his electoral campaign for the Community of Madrid.

Participating in this campaign with the Housing Law under his arm would be a banner with which to present himself in his political battle against Isabel Díaz Ayuso and they are not willing to renounce it.

That is why neither one nor the other wants to blow up the negotiations, although

both have failed to meet the deadlines that were given

.

At this point, the rule should be between the Council of Ministers and the Congress of Deputies, however neither party nor the other dare to set new dates.

"The important thing is that it goes ahead and its content," say sources of the negotiations.
