Estas son las novedades que añade la propuesta alternativa de Junts para la vivienda

Junts per Catalunya ayer anunció que no iba a apoyar los dos decretos de vivienda aprobados por el Gobierno y le pidió que los retirará para negociar una nueva propuesta. Leer

Junts per Catalunya has proposed an alternative housing policy that deviates from the two decrees of housing approved by the government. The text, which spans 59 pages, includes fiscal incentives such as a reduction in income tax for the purchase of a primary residence and deposits into housing savings accounts. It also removes the mandatory extension of contracts expiring within the next two years, replacing it with a voluntary extension for contracts ending before June 30, 2028.

Furthermore, Junts suggests that cases of unlawful intrusion into housing no longer be judged by a popular tribunal but by ordinary judges. The party's economic spokesman in Congress, Josep Maria Crusset, has defended the proposal against accusations from the PSOE and its allies that the crisis of housing in the country is the fault of Junts' seven members in the Congress.

Crusset wrote in a post on X, which was picked up by Europa Press, that it's ridiculous to blame the party's seven representatives after eight years of government, with a 23% increase in rental prices, a 30% increase in sale prices, and 250,000 evictions. During the defense of the first decree, Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez reminded Junts that the government's text incorporates 90% of their requests and called on its deputies to support and proceed with it as a bill to introduce the changes they deem appropriate.
