The Canary Islands will request a "meeting of the joint commission" between this regional administration and the state before filing an appeal of unconstitutionality against the 'National Housing Law' which, it understands, "invades regional powers in aspects such as the management of the public housing stock or large property owners."
This was announced this Friday by its president, Fernando Clavijo, at the institutional event on the occasion of the patron saint festivities of Gran Canaria, a celebration that marks the "beginning of a political course" that "faces with enthusiasm, optimism and the responsibility" of the challenges that touch, which are "not few, because curves are coming", he said.
Clavijo has asked the Virgen del Pino to "give strength and wisdom" to his Government so that it "does not make mistakes and gets the decisions it makes right" and has alluded among them to "this appeal of unconstitutionality", which is being analyzed by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing and the legal services of the Canary Islands Autonomous Community, in line with what Madrid, Andalusia, the Basque Country, Catalonia or the Balearic Islands have done.
"We believe that this law will do a disservice to market regulation and to achieve what we all want: to build housing, that the majority of the population can have access to it, as the Constitution says, and that prices are adequate," he said.
"We believe that this law will do a disservice to market regulation and to get housing built"
The Canarian president has stressed that between "vacation rentals, the difficulties in building homes and the absence of a public housing policy", in the end the reality is that we have "a very tense market" and that is "preventing young people from becoming independent" and that people have to allocate the "majority of their salary to pay rent or a mortgage."
