The PP proposes in its program for the elections on May 28 a battery of measures against the illegal squatting of housing such as express eviction in “a maximum period of 24 hours.” In addition, it proposes the creation of municipal technical offices that have legal advice for affected residents and “a 24-hour citizen service telephone number” to act immediately in the event of occupations or attempted occupations.

«The Government of Spain is the only one in the European Union that has
promoted regulations that are tolerant of the illegal occupation of
housing, “says the PP in the framework program that Alberto Núñez Feijóo has presented and that has been coordinated by the former minister Iñigo De la Serna and the vice-secretary of Social Policies of the party, Carmen Fúnez.

With the objective of “guaranteeing the right to private property of citizens”, it defends “the necessary legislative modifications to fight against the illegal occupation of homes, to prevent the illegal occupant from enjoying the protection of residence or domicile and to allow evictions occur urgently, within a maximum period of 24 hours.

The PP proposes in its program for the elections on May 28 a battery of measures against the illegal squatting of housing such as express eviction in “a maximum period of 24 hours.” In addition, it proposes the creation of municipal technical offices that have legal advice for affected residents and “a 24-hour citizen service telephone number” to act immediately in the event of occupations or attempted occupations.

«The Government of Spain is the only one in the European Union that has

housing, “says the PP in the framework program that Alberto Núñez Feijóo has presented and that has been coordinated by the former minister Iñigo De la Serna and the vice-secretary of Social Policies of the party, Carmen Fúnez.

With the objective of “guaranteeing the right to private property of citizens”, it defends “the necessary legislative modifications to fight against the illegal occupation of homes, to prevent the illegal occupant from enjoying the protection of residence or domicile and to allow evictions occur urgently, within a maximum period of 24 hours.

In any case, the popular ones emphasize that “illegally occupied homes will not be subject to a local or regional tax burden for as long as the situation continues.”

In addition, the PP proposes to create municipal technical offices for the fight against illegal occupation that have legal advice for affected residents or communities of residents; a 24-hour citizen service telephone line to act immediately in the event of occupations or attempted occupations, and a single window for processing matters related to illegal occupation.

Housing Agreement
On the other hand, in its program the PP defends the need to reach a State Pact on housing that includes the autonomous communities and local entities, given that “the difficulty of accessing housing” is one of the “main problems ” from Spain.

“What we need are innovative and viable solutions, coordinated between the different Administrations and that add up”, as well as “the collaboration of the private sector”.

At this point, it proposes “developing a State Pact on housing that has the active participation and involvement of the autonomous communities and local entities.” “Our commitment is to jointly explore feasible solutions to guarantee rational land use, build home ownership at more affordable prices, mobilize rental housing and deepen the rehabilitation of the existing stock,” he says.

As he adds, it is necessary to continue prioritizing the policies of
housing «to vulnerable families or sectors of the population with
fewer resources”.

Another of the priority objectives of the PP is to “facilitate the purchase of your first

housing for young people. To do this, counting on the participation in his case of the General State Administration, he says that they will promote “mortgage guarantee accounts”, going from 80% to 95% for young people, through adhesion agreements with financial institutions.

The PP considers that fiscal policy “is also an ally to improve access to housing for Spaniards” and, for this, it says that it will continue to bet “to reduce the tax burden that falls on real estate.”
