The deputy spokesperson for the Popular Group in the Parliament of the Canary Islands, Miguel Jorge Blanco, has advocated for "leaving for the next legislature" the legislative reforms of vacation rentals introduced in the Opinion of the Commission for the modification of the Tourism Planning Law and the Law for the renovation and modernization of tourism in the Canary Islands.
According to Miguel Jorge Blanco, the Consultative Council's opinion known this Thursday "introduces enough doubts about the mechanism chosen to amend the Government of the Canary Islands' Bill and extend the modifications of the legislative text beyond the original intention, to make us all reflect." "The modifications introduced are of such importance that they deserve a calm debate that is impossible to take place in just three days," he considers.
In this sense, the PP parliamentarian believes that "the most sensible and urgent thing" in the last plenary session of the legislature is to "adapt the norm to the requirements of the Constitutional Court's rulings" and leave "for the Chamber that emerges from the elections of May 26, to address with sufficient time, the debate that the definitive regulation of vacation rentals in the Canary Islands deserves."
Therefore, Blanco has asked for "responsibility" from the different parliamentary groups "so that they promote this serene debate and withdraw the amendments, unrelated to the original initiative, introduced in the commission's opinion."
"Haste has never been a good advisor and whenever there has been an attempt to regulate the sector hastily, the courts have amended our plans," concluded the deputy spokesperson for the PP in Parliament, recalling the consequences that "the previous government's haste when it approved, at the last minute of the past legislature, the decree on vacation rentals" has brought for the vacation rental sector.
