Javier Taberna, president of the Navarre Chamberof Commerce, has defended private property as an instrument for lowering rental prices in the face of housing decrees heconsiders"unconstitutional" and recalled the model of dictatorship: "During Francoism, Franco thought perfectly, I don't know why I say that, that private property could strengthen an entire society. "

At a press conference in Pamplona, the businessman called for "private property to be allowed to develop"without the limitation that the Spanish Government intends to place on it with housing decrees because prices will be" modulated "according to supply and demand.

"For the purpose pursued, which is that there are more rentals at reasonable prices, there must be more rentals. How are there going to be more rentals? Encouraging them to exist and not going against the owner," said Bar-Ça, who criticized the "inconsistency" of the decrees, saying that they will not meet the objectives and that the only consequence will be that "no one wants to put up enough rental housing."

According to the president of the Chamber of Commerce, "the key is to make it easier for there to be more private property and more entrepreneurs," while the decrees limit "private property (a constitutional right)."

The bar has stated that the Constitution itself recognizes that the right to private property may be restricted, but that Article 53 states that "any restriction on constitutional rights requires a law" and cannot be made by decree.

For all these reasons, the businessman hopes that the decrees will not be passed tomorrow in the vote of Congress, the result of which would be "a flight of investments, aflight of any private sector investment. "He added that collaboration between the public and private spheres" will not exist because no one wants to have a flat for rent, because in the end you lose property. "
