One day after Alberto Núñez Feijóo announced his housing strategy if he reaches La Moncloa, the Popular Party on Wednesday displayed the details of a plan aimed “mainly” at young people and that seeks to be the recipe against the “current difficulties” that the Pedro Sánchez’s executive fails to correct his “erratic” policies in this matter.
In fact, in the popular ranks they already define the President of the Government as “the biggest speculator in Spain”, since “every time he speaks” and announces new measures “the price” of housing in our country rises. The PP navigates in the opposite direction and considers that, instead of capping rental prices, what it takes is to increase the real estate market so that they decrease.
In the PP they disdain the “ghost announcements of Sánchez” and limit them to a new promise in the electoral period as a “smoke screen” to try to come back in the polls in the last stretch before the elections on May 28. To justify it, they explain that the Government has tiptoed over the last five years in terms of housing, and now that time is short before the polls, it is mobilizing the pharaonic but also debatable figure of 93,000 apartments for affordable rentals.
Faced with these numbers, the PP also specifies the impact that the plan announced this Tuesday by Feijóo would have: 400,000 young people, according to their calculations, could benefit from the aid of 1,000 euros for emancipation. The popular ones put the limit at 35 years as the maximum age to benefit from their youth measures and at 40,000 euros of annual income the ceiling to receive this type of aid, which would be complete (1,000 euros) up to 30,000 euros, and would decrease progressively. in the section up to 40,000 euros.
With regard to the 15% guarantee for the purchase of a home, the PP also limits the maximum age to 35 years and adds the condition that it be in a case of first home exclusively. What price can the property have? In this case, if the plan were to be executed, the PP would leave this decision in the hands of the autonomies.
“The objective is not to leave anyone out,” explained the PP Deputy Secretary of Economy, Juan Bravo, who also promised a greater budgetary investment in the Youth Rental Bonus so that the item reaches all registered applications, something that the PP denounces that this has not happened with the coalition government.
In terms of anti-squatting, the popular ones, who promise to modify the legislation, toughen the penalties and evict the squatters in 24 hours, will also create a series of “municipal technical offices” to give advice to the neighbors who suffer from the squatting of their house . There will also be a 24-hour hotline and “specialized local police administrative units” will be created in this area.
Bravo also explained that the road map designed by the PP seeks to streamline procedures, as well as the elimination of bureaucratic obstacles and duplication. To do this, he explained, public-private collaboration and dialogue between all levels of the Administration will be the axes of the Housing State Pact that Feijóo will deploy during his first hundred days in office if he comes to the Government.
In the same way, the package of tax deductions already included in the Housing Law will be expanded, which will soon be approved by the Executive and investment in R D I in construction will be increased. “Trained personnel are needed in the sector,” reflected Bravo.
