The Minister of Housing, Conxita Marsolhas assured hours before a decisive meeting with the Union that sees options to reach agreements. “There are some things that can be assumed more quickly and others with time. If we have to make some adjustments in some matter no problem, but do very important things at the legislative level at the heights we are at it will be very difficult”, he added without specifying what measures there are more possibilities to reach an understanding.
In any case, he guaranteed that “we always have the hand extended to the dialogue and we are ready to listen”. Instead, she was categorical about the entity’s threat to cut the border if the main requests are not answered. “We all work for the good of the country and things that harm it are not good for anyone”, she said, referring to the words of the Minister of the Interior, Ester Molnéin which he closed the door to allowing the action in question.
In addition, marsol emphasized that “housing is an absolute priority for Government. We have made an economic effort and many projects” he pointed out, mentioning initiatives such as the construction of housing in the public park, the aid for the purchase of the first floor, or the incentive program for individuals to make homes. He also announced that the executive works to promote a project for the sale of homes at an affordable cost.
On the other hand, the number two of the Government has taken the plunge of 30% in the sale of homes in one year. “It’s what we wanted with the law of sustainable growth or the foreign investment tax. It is true that there continues to be activity in the sector, but it has been somewhat contained. We have to value it positively, he pointed out. In any case, he warned that an incidence in one promotion can change the situation completely. In this sense, about the prominent increase in the average rental price per square meter, he argued that “we think it is due to some important sale of a lot of money and few meters. We are looking to see if there is any operation which can distort the data,” he replied.
