Who better defends the right to housing?

This is the debate: many people, with two salaries at home, have been left out of the housing market, whether buying or renting. The situation is critical. What solution does the State offer? The other debate, Rufián speaking from the left against Junts, we already know by heart. The left cries out for a right that it has not always known how to defend

On the war: the United States and Israel have neither overthrown the ayatollahs' regime, nor do they control the Strait of Hormuz, nor is Trump advancing peace talks as he wants us to believe with this daily obsession of talking, talking, and talking.Trump wants to claim victory and cannot, he wants to announce peace and bombs and missiles continue to be heard, and Tehran says they are not negotiating anything, the war is harming the lives of people and businesses all over the world, and it is sending us into an energy crisis that could strangle us all. The dictatorship of the Iranian clergy has understood that Trump is in a hurry to finish, and logically they are not; the regime is already very damaged, and now they want the whole world to blame Trump for the general impoverishment.In this regard, I recommend again theanalysis by our Head of International, Francesc Millán, on what might happen now. Because Trump said the war would last 4 weeks. It will be 4 weeks the day after tomorrow, Saturday. What should we do: insist on the diplomatic path or escalate the war, with nuclear weapons if necessary?In this scenario, today the anti-crisis decree is being voted on in Congress. It will be approved because Junts has already said they will support it because the PSOE will support what we explained yesterday about the zero VAT reduction for self-employed workers earning less than 85,000 euros per year. The vote and debate will be today, but yesterday Esquerra and Junts already debated another issue that will be voted on in a month, which is the decree extending rental contracts. And Rufián went all out against Junts: "Who do they work for? For whom? If they overthrow this decree, I wish them years of political ostracism. And I promise you that while I am here, I will strive very hard for that to be the case. Very. Because they do terrible harm to people, to this country, and to my country. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."

Junts points out that, after decades of left-wing governments, the rental market has almost disappeared from Barcelona and that, therefore, the decree would be a temporary solution and a problem for the owners of the flats, the majority of whom in Catalonia are small owners. This morning, on TVE, Miriam Nogueras said that the State must implement social housing policies, that it should not be imposed on owners, that's why we pay taxes, and that they should stop pitting owners and tenants against each other, as if all owners were vultures.

This is the debate: many people, with two incomes at home, have been priced out of the housing market, whether for purchase or rental. The situation is critical. What solution does the State offer? The other debate, Rufián speaking from the left against Junts, we already know by heart. The left clamors for a right that it has not always known how to defend.

Good morning.
