EH Bildu’s spokeswoman in Congress admits the agreement “doesn’t solve everything,” but it is a step that “eases” the situation of many families.
EH Bildu’s spokesman in Congress, Merxe Aizpurua, has indicated that the housing bill approved with the support of the Abertzale formation and ERC “does not solve everything”, but it is a step that “eases” the situation of many families and “closes a door for speculators and vulture funds”.
Aizpurua appeared before the media this Sunday, accompanied by the candidates for the mayor of San Sebastián and the provincial council of Gipuzkoa, Juan Karlos Izagirre and Maddalen Iriarte, in an act assessing the agreement on the housing law announced last Friday.
The new rule sets rent ceilings and “makes evictions impossible” in the event that there is no alternative housing, stressed Aizpurua, pointing out that it was “many months of work and negotiation” but “finally A citizen’s demand has come trueand the Basque associative fabric.
This “does not solve the huge problems” citizens have with access to housing, which is one of their main concerns, Aizpurua acknowledges, but noted that “it will ease the situation of many”.
The Basques spend “much more” than 30% of their income on housing at an average of €700 per month per family, although in cities like San Sebastián that figure rises to “almost €1,000”, leading many San Sebastian to live in nearby towns that have also seen prices rise.
Aizpurua has shown his satisfaction as his training has achieved”close the door to speculators and vulture funds in cities like San Sebastian”.
The agreement is “a small step to end the housing problem,” said the Sovereign Party’s spokesman, who stressed that many more will have to be given, but “the way has been set” and launched ” some tools that didn’t exist at the beginning of the week”.
