The deputy for Lanzarote and island secretary of the PSOE, María Dolores Corujo, held a working meeting this Thursday with the Secretary of State for Housing, accompanied by his technical team, to strengthen collaboration on housing and, especially, so that Lanzarote "does not fall behind again due to the neglect of CC and PP, who continue to refuse to apply the Housing Law in the islands."
Corujo has been forceful: "The governments of Coalición Canaria and the Partido Popular will not build a single public house in Lanzarote. They have failed. They return to their policy of systematic abandonment, the same one that condemned this island to spend more than 26 years without building a single house until a socialist government arrived with Ángel Víctor Torres in the presidency."
During the meeting, the socialist deputy insisted on "the urgent need to address the housing emergency that Lanzarote is suffering and recalled that the only public houses being built on the island have a socialist stamp, promoted in the last legislature with funds from the Government of Spain and the support of the progressive regional Executive."
“The right has blocked the application of the Housing Law in the Canary Islands, refusing to declare stressed areas and refusing to regulate rents. They have turned their backs on the social majority, and they have done so in the middle of a crisis that forces families to live in rooms or share a house with strangers,” Corujo added.
From the PSOE they have warned that they will not allow Lanzarote to fall into oblivion again: "We will continue to demand that the Government of the Canary Islands act, apply the tools that the State gives it and stop looking the other way. Because what is at stake is the right to decent housing."
