Spanish Housing Decree Faces Political Disagreement

developing COPE Madrid 14d13d Impact 5

The Spanish government has not clarified the future for tenants seeking contract renewals under the housing law. Residents have lived in these properties for 20 years and are protesting the sale at the Fidere headquarters in Madrid. Neighbors reported that monthly payments for those who remained have continued to increase. The sale follows a previous divestment by Blackstone to a different group. Blackstone has sold 1,860 public housing units to the Brookfield vulture fund for 1,050,000 euros. The sale occurs 13 years after the initial acquisition of these assets. Tenants in Madrid held a protest at the Fidere headquarters to denounce rising monthly payments and abusive rental practices. The Tenants Union is demanding more decisive measures despite a two-year rental extension expected to pass in Congress today.

The Tenants Union is demanding more decisive measures despite a two-year rental extension expected to pass in Congress today. Spokesperson Alicia del Río stated that the extension is merely a temporary fix for residents. The Sumar party is criticizing the PSOE government for insufficient efforts to advance a housing decree in Spain. Other left-wing groups, including Esquerra Republicana, have also expressed similar reproaches. Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez stated that the government is not in favor of reintroducing the text without a parliamentary agreement.
