Sánchez evalúa dar un paso al frente
Leer
Pedro Sánchez is considering taking a step forward with two decrees on housing, despite Junts not wanting to join him. The two decrees are filled with traps that will only make the housing problem worse. Sánchez didn't intend to fix the housing issue but rather use it demagogically for electoral gains. The housing problem in Spain is not just about landlords raising rents, but the lack of homes in general.
The debate between tenants and owners resembles the worker vs. entrepreneur debate, with both sides needed. The true problem is the lack of homes, not the two decrees. The situation has worsened since the 2023 Housing Law was passed, with prices in Madrid and Barcelona rising significantly. Measures to restrict supply have also contributed to the issue.
Sánchez is more tempted than ever to call for elections, but it depends on his advisors convincing him that it's worth taking a step forward.
