The Council of Statutory Guarantees (CGE) ruled this Tuesday, unanimously, that the bill to limit the speculative purchase of housing, presented by Comuns, violates the right to private property, inheritance, and freedom of enterprise. Furthermore, the consultative body – whose resolutions are not binding – concludes that processing it by a single reading contravenes Article 138 of the Parliament's Regulations, which governs this express procedure, and Article 23.2 of the Constitution, which refers to citizens' right to access public functions and positions in conditions of equality. The ruling also adds a third pillar of unconstitutionality: it considers that the key article of the proposal encroaches on the State's exclusive competence over the bases of contractual obligations. Faced with this scenario, the Minister of Territory, Housing and Ecological Transition, Sílvia Paneque, has assured that the Government will seek "all legal measures [...] to protect the right to housing in Catalonia" in accordance with the Statute.
