The president of the Partido Popular of Lanzarote, Astrid Pérez, stated this Thursday that "with the left governing in Spain, there is only available and safe housing for squatters, protected by a Government that makes buying a home more expensive and scares away the rental supply."Astrid Pérez indicates that "squatters and tenant squatters are overprotected thanks to the legislation that the Government approved during the pandemic, in a health emergency situation, and that it has inexplicably maintained since we returned to normal."
“In the PP, we defend a regulatory modification that guarantees the immediate eviction of squatters in 24 hours,” he assures.
"As long as Pedro Sánchez and his political allies hold power in Spain, the right of Spaniards to decent housing is a pipe dream because legal certainty does not exist. Under these conditions, neither developers build nor owners go to the rental market."
For Astrid Pérez, "without legal certainty, it is foreseeable that there will be fewer and fewer homes for sale and for rent in our country, and no one should be surprised that the supply is reduced and prices skyrocket uncontrollably."
Remember that "with Sánchez in La Moncloa, the price of housing has increased by more than 44%, and in the rental market there are 120,000 fewer homes, and those that remain are increasingly expensive."
The island president understands the alarm that the critical evolution of the housing market generates in citizens, which, for example, places 4 municipalities of Lanzarote (Arrecife, Haría, Tías and Yaiza) among the most expensive and those that have become more expensive in the last year in the Canary Islands.
Astrid Pérez points out that during her time as mayor of Arrecife, she ceded land to the Government of the Canary Islands for the construction of new homes, "the only public housing that has been built in the last 30 years."
Be that as it may, "the solution to a problem as pressing as it is complex must necessarily begin by restoring legal certainty, defending the constitutional right to private property of owners, and betting on public housing and public-private collaboration in the construction of new housing."
