Feijóo accuses the Government of Pedro Sánchez of creating the housing problem

The president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has pointed out the Government of Pedro Sánchez as responsible for "creating a problem with housing that did not exist" when he came to power: "The damage that this Executive has done will not be repaired by the culprits, eight years of wrong direction in housing will not be solved with a royal decree."

In a meeting in Terrassa, at the headquarters of the Cecot employers' association, with business representatives from different sectors of activity, the opposition leader pointed out that "it is necessary to overcome the discourse of the demonization of private initiative that the Government has encouraged." "It is impossible to build the million homes that we need to solve the problem if there is no private initiative."

Feijóo has pointed out that more important than the text that comes out today from the Council of Ministers is to analyze "the failure of eight years of a housing policy that has managed to increase prices more than ever and reduce supply more than ever." "The important thing is that in 2018 it was the 16th problem for Spaniards and it has been the first for several years," he added.

The leader of the PP has charged against the second vice president and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, for encouraging mobilization in the streets: "For a minister to call a general strike is something that does not happen in democratic countries. Because, if she had a minimum of decency, when she believes that the Government is against the workers she should resign immediately."

"The Government has been working in the field of housing for eight years and has created a problem that did not exist when it arrived. Now, I ask for my turn and my turn is to increase the supply," he offered.

"In Spain there are 300,000 finished homes that cannot be delivered as a result of lack of power. How is it possible that we have this bottleneck and that the Government is more concerned with reaching an agreement among itself than with solving the immediate delivery of 300,000 homes?" Feijóo asked the business audience.

The leader of the popular party was already in Catalonia nine days ago at a party event in Badalona (Barcelona), together with mayor Xavier García Albiol. A day in which he coincided in the region with Sánchez, who attended the PSC Rose Festival in Gavà, just 30 kilometers away.

Just yesterday, the president of the Government and the president of the Generalitat, the socialist Salvador Illa, met with the so-called Catalan business G8, made up of Barcelona Global, the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, the Círculo de Economía, the College of Economists of Catalonia, FemCat, Pimec, RACC and Fira de Barcelona (which was not represented at that meeting).
