Itxaso has criticized the president for announcing "housing without a project."

Despite criticism, the Housing Counsellor has said that the PNV-PSE coalition government is "working" and that this legislature has been left behind by the "big discrepancies" in housing policy in the past.

The Basque Government's Housing Advisor, Denis Itxaso, has criticized lehendakari, Imanol Pradales , for "taking a picture" with the mayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, Jon Insausti , to Riberas de Loiola and announcing the construction of 400 dotational apartments "without the support of a project."

"The lehendakari and the mayor have been in a hurry because of the question of authorship," and in terms of housing, "you can't be superficial about citizens" expectations, "Itxaso said at a press conference in the capital of Guipuzcoana on Thursday.

Itxaso has stressed that "things cannot be done like this"and has announced that tomorrow, Friday, he will call on the media to explain in Riberas de Loiola the "preliminary draft" that his department has been working on "with great care for a year" for this land, which, he has advanced, is "very attractive" and would be developed "by the hand of the neighbors and the city."

He said he called Pradales earlier this morning to express his discomfort and remind him that "housing policy" is being developed by his department and that, in fact, he has repeatedly requested the transfer of the land to the Housing Department.

However, the Housing and Urban Agenda Counsellor believes that she has the "impression" that the PNV-PSE coalition government is "working" and that the "major discrepancies" in housing policy have been left behind in this legislature and have been achieved "by consensus."

For their part, sources of the Presidency consulted by EITB have declined to comment on Itxaso's statements, but have pointed out that the lehendakari and the counsellor "have a very good relationship on all the issues" that need to be addressed. Sources of the City of San Sebastián, for their part, have pointed out that it is really important for the mayor to use the plot for dotational housing, and that he has always said that he wants to work closely with San Sebastian.
