The Government plans to give the green light on July 28 to the creation of the general directorate of housing discipline agreed with the Comuns, and to place Fuensanta Alcalá at the head of this new body, who already assumed similar functions in the Barcelona City Council during Ada Colau's term.
This was detailed this Tuesday at a press conference by the spokesperson for the Comuns in the Parlament, David Cid, who pointed out that Alcalá's professional career is linked to public housing policies and that she has a marked technical profile.
"Her professional trajectory supports her. It is, basically, what we wanted," Cid stressed, emphasizing that housing regulations must be enforced and that, in his opinion, the free-for-all for those who, in his view, violate them must end.
For this reason, he insisted on the importance of sending a clear signal to all those who consider that respect for the law is "a dead letter in Catalonia."
Likewise, they have conveyed to the Board of Spokespersons of the Parlament their intention that in the plenary session of next week the other pending debate on the law to veto the speculative purchase of housing will be held.
In this context, he urged Junts and PP to stop behaving like "arms of the employers' association" and to facilitate housing being guaranteed as a right and not limited to being a financial asset and a business opportunity.
Commission on the Status of Deputies
While waiting for the Parlament to resolve this Tuesday the files opened for statements made in the parliamentary session by Joan Garriga (Vox), Júlia Calvet (Vox) and Sílvia Orriols (Aliança Catalana), Cid maintained that the stage of simple warnings is over and that it is time to say "enough is enough."
"And this means showing firmness, and this means sanctions and calls to order in the plenary session. It is essential," demanded the spokesperson for the Comuns, who added that they are working on a reform of the regulations that will provide more tools and guarantees to the Bureau in the face of such situations.
According to Cid, what cannot happen is that in the Chamber there are groups "that verbally attack deputies of the Parlament, that there are clearly hate speeches, and nothing happens."
"When you deny someone the status of a citizen simply because of their appearance or origin, what you end up causing is that it is free to insult them to their face in front of the entire Parlament," he concluded.
