Luis Aragonés versus the Maricarmen decree

The article discusses the issue of housing in Spain, where despite high demand and low supply, prices continue to rise. The author argues that communist and socialist policies, such as rent control and expropriation, have failed to address the problem and have instead led to a shortage of housing. Citing data from 2025, the article states that Spain's population grew by around 500,000, with 240,000 new households formed, but only 92,000 new homes were built.

The Banco de España estimates a deficit of 750,000 homes, which is expected to grow if a solution is not found. The article criticizes the PSOE and Sumar for introducing measures such as the "decreto Maricarmen", which it claims will not solve the problem.
