The PSOE has reacted harshly to the parliamentary rejection of the decree that automatically extended rental contracts, holding PP and Vox directly responsible for preventing a measure that, according to them, benefited millions of people.
Sources from the party tell Demócrata that the vote held in Congress represents a blow to tenants and demonstrates a political model that, in their opinion, prioritizes market interests over social protection.
The socialists maintain that the refusal of the right and the far-right leaves thousands of households without coverage who were hoping to maintain the stability of their rental contracts in a context marked by rising prices and difficulty accessing housing. In this regard, they criticize that the opposition has rejected a measure aimed at offering residential security and alleviating economic pressure on families.
The PSOE accuses the opposition of favoring speculation
From socialist ranks they assure that the parliamentary decision reflects a vision of housing centered on economic profitability and not on the right to access a home. They consider that PP and Vox maintain a position aligned with the interests of large property owners and reject any limitation on real estate speculation.
The PSOE has also taken the opportunity to question the management of the Popular Party in autonomous communities where it governs, accusing it of not fully applying the Housing Law and of not betting on public policies that allow for an increase in affordable supply.
Housing, a political priority for the Government
Despite the parliamentary setback, the socialists insist that housing policy will continue to be a priority for the Executive. They defend the need to expand public housing, protect affordable housing, and strengthen measures aimed at ensuring stability for tenants.
