Why It Matters
The Government debates the approval of two decrees on housing in Parliament with frontal opposition from the PP.
In the midst of great expectation filled with confusing messages and even calls for an election, the Government, through the Minister of Housing, Isabel Rodríguez, has urged the parliamentary groups to take advantage of the "opportunity to put a stop to the speculation that steals lives" and act with "responsibility."
The minister has directly blamed the Popular Party, a party with which the Government has not wanted to negotiate the text of the two housing decrees that will expire today, calling it "the worst right wing in all of Europe." Rodríguez has stressed that the PP is "disqualified from governing the country." On the contrary, he has addressed Junts with a pleading tone, urging his seven deputies not to torpedo the rule, either by voting yes or by abstaining.
"Today they are going to be judged by their votes; today politics and Spanish democracy are going to be judged," said the minister, who assured that, after the first decree of the Government, the most comprehensive and for which the Executive had hopes of approval, there are "many months of work" and she recalled that a good part of the measures included in the norm have been agreed with the various parties, including the Catalan independentists.
Rodríguez has elaborated on the Maricarmen case as an example of the "collective failure" that has been the impetus for social mobilization and has even compared it to the case of Ramón San Pedro that definitively promoted the debate on euthanasia. The government intervention has had clear overtones of a campaign message.
"The Government's ambition," the minister insisted, "goes far beyond the decree." He has done so before reviewing in general terms the blocks addressed by the decree whose main objective is to put "a tourniquet on the housing drain."
"With the people or with the vultures; with the vultures that evict or with the people who suffer," has been the slogan that Rodríguez has raised, challenging PP, Vox and UPN, whom he accuses of "abandoning" the citizens. "While people are protesting in the streets, you are going to Miami or to a Congress of vulture funds encouraging them to colonize us," he began by asking the popular "what those funds offer you." The minister concluded her speech by demanding "responsibility" from the groups.
The representatives of Compromís, Canarian Coalition and BNG have described the measures as "insufficient" but have confirmed their vote in favor.
