Decreto de vivienda: estas son las medidas que negocia a contrarreloj el Gobierno
La vivienda ha puesto en jaque al Gobierno, que negocia a contrarreloj con sus socios un nuevo decreto tratando de contentar a todos. El reto es complejo, ya que las posiciones de Sumar, Podemos, ERC y Bildu para atajar el problema de acceso a la vivienda chocan con las de otras formaciones como PNV y Junts. Leer
During recent protests sparked by the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen in Madrid, Spain's government announced on Sunday that it is working "contrarreloj" to pass a comprehensive decree on housing. President Pedro Sánchez promised that the decree, dubbed "the Maricarmen decree," would be approved next Tuesday.
Measures being negotiated include protections against evictions, preventing speculative purchases of housing through investment funds, stabilizing rental contracts to protect against unreasonable increases and contract renewals, regulating seasonal rentals to curb fraudulent practices, applying VAT to vacation rental properties, providing tax incentives to tenants, and offering incentives to property owners who reduce rental prices.
The package also includes support for first-time homebuyers and a proposal to protect state-owned housing assets from speculative ownership.
Additionally, the government is considering reducing VAT on the construction of protected housing with permanent certification. The involvement of the opposition party, Junts, remains uncertain. The party has voiced concerns about the decree potentially criminalizing small property owners. To secure Junts' support, the government has emphasized their stance on halting "bunker" funds while also promoting fiscal incentives for both owners and tenants.
