• Politics The plácet of ERC and Bildu allows the Government to unlock the Housing Law: rent cap of 3% in 2024 and a new index from 2025
  • Government A call on Easter Monday, the order of ERC-Bildu and Díaz and Belarra separately: this is how the Housing Law was conceived in 96 hours

The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has accused the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of delivering public policies to Podemos, ERC and EH Bildu with his new "anti-housing law" and other regulations approved in recent months.

This was expressed in his speech at a rally in the town of Vega de Pas (Cantabria), where he described the law as a "shame" and a "great disappointment" because he does not speak "seriously" of housing, "one of the main problems" of Spain.

"Do you remember when Sánchez came to the Government and said that intervening in rental prices was an ineffective measure and that he would not do it? And how has it ended up applying that measure?", Feijóo questioned, to warn that "intervening prices sounds very good but it works very badly". In his opinion, Sánchez "has ceased to be a socialist and has been podemized'.

In this context, he has been in favor of generating social housing and has spoiled Sánchez who has "done zero", while accusing him of having launched "little or no" aid for the rental of young people.

"I agree to protect Spaniards who have difficulty paying for their housing, but what I do not agree with is that nothing is done to evict squatters from houses that are not theirs," he also added, to stress that the new Housing Law does not include "not a word" about illegal squatting.

For Feijóo, it is "revealing" that the Government "does not protect" Spanish families who see their homes occupied. "The same government that mercilessly insults anyone who disagrees with it, bows its ears to the squatters," he said.

In this regard, he assured that the PP will present "an alternative model to the anti-housing law" and will guarantee "more aid and security, both for the landlord and for the tenant": "We are going to make a pact and not an imposition of the minority counts the majority of Spaniards", he has advanced, to highlight that the price of housing falls "building more".

According to Feijóo, when "arrogance" is "combined" with inexperience, insensitivity and weakness, laws like this one arise, agreed with ERC and EH Bildu, to which Sánchez "delivers public policies".

THE 'ONLY YES IS YES', THE "WORST MISTAKE"

On the other hand, the leader of the PP has warned that the "worst mistake" of the President of the Government, "and the most painful", has been the law of 'only yes is yes' because it was "avoidable" and "revictimizes" the victims and "alarms society".

In this sense, he criticized that the PSOE has not been able to reform the law "despite having the votes given away from the PP." "I recognize that this issue has me stunned by the lack of empathy and trust," he lamented, to warn of the "arrogance" and "arrogance" of not reforming such "legislative nonsense."

On this issue, Feijóo has said that if a "legal botch" such as the law of only yes if had occurred during his government and no one "had been able to ask for forgiveness", he would not continue in the Executive.

Feijóo, who during his speech has also claimed support for the PP to the rural world, farmers and the electro-intensive industry, has asserted that the first thing a politician has to do "is to rectify when he is wrong."

"Sanchismo has come to normalize frivolous politics and the politics of confrontation and I promise to do the opposite, end frivolity and end confrontation," he concluded.
