ELA and LAB report that the decree on urgent housing measures benefits owners
With regard to the benchmark rental price index in high-voltage areas, the Power Stations believe that "it helps to consolidate the rise in prices . Although there is a limit to increases, prices can continue to rise," they said.
ELA and LAB denounce that the decree on urgent housing measures adopted today by the Basque Government only benefits homeowners and does not solve the problem. Moreover, they believe that the decree feeds the housing business rather than putting effective measures on the table.
For its part, ELA believes that the measure they have sought to present as a "social shield" is being "used to cover the effects of years of lack of initiative on housing policies." According to this union, implies a "sterile and exclusionary policy . " " On the one hand, it excludes the most vulnerable people from public housing, and on the other hand, it strengthens the subsidy model without giving a real boost to the creation of public rental housing. "
For this reason, the "lack of political will" of the public institutions has been "demonstrated" for ELA and has called for "the housing problem to be addressed as a whole" in order to "reverse the situation".
In the same vein, LAB has censured that the Basque Government "continues to feed the housing business with public money. There are no effective measures to lower prices, and the decree involves allocating more public money to the owner's stock exchange. "
LAB has called for housing policies to be put in place in favour of the majority of workers, "to put aside subsidy policies, to bet on lowering prices, to prioritize the expansion of public parks and social rental, and to limit the business of real estate employers."
Along with the decree, reference price indices for rent in high-voltage areas have also been published today, which has been criticized by the unions. ELA believes that "the measure will only affect 10% of the rental market" and "will have a very limited impact." LAB reiterates that "the indices reinforce the current increase in rental prices."
