The pressure for the increase in mortgages has moved to the political arena.
The president of the PP and leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez-Feijóo, announced this Thursday that his party is working on a set of proposals that it will present to the Government to alleviate the pressure on families and has advanced two of the measures that will be part of the package: on the one hand, to recover the tax deduction for the purchase of a habitual residence and, on the other hand, to create a fund shared by the Government and the banks, to help medium and low incomes.
This is how Feijóo himself explained it in an act in Guadalajara in which he assured that his party is "concerned" about the economic and social situation in Spain and wants to be "useful" by putting forward proposals for the Executive to assess, at a time in which mortgages can rise by an average of 200 euros.
On recovering the tax deduction for the acquisition of a habitual residence, the leader of the popular has assured that "it is essential that someone who has bought his first home and has a mortgage can deduct income tax on the interest he is paying for the loan".
The measure was in force for years but was eliminated as of 2013 as part of the adjustment plan promoted by the Government of Mariano Rajoy.
The second proposal put forward by Feijóo is to create a fund, with contributions from banks and the Government, "to help middle and low incomes to deal with mortgages."
According to the former Galician president, both measures are "fair and necessary" so that the medium and low incomes can make ends meet and to "maintain the minimum balance and the minimum justice with the medium and low incomes of our country".
