The Minister of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs, and Agenda 2030 expressed his joy at the decision of a former vice president of the Valencian Government to return to active politics. This statement was made during a visit to the neighborhood platform Orriols Convive in Valencia, where he met with community development entities.
The minister emphasized the honor of this meeting, stating that many people across the country have felt deep joy and a sense of justice with the former vice president's return. He expressed the commitment of many to help Valencia have a mayor who prioritizes the interests of its residents.
“"There are many good people across the country who have felt deep joy and a sense of justice in recent weeks. And of course, for me, it is an honor to personally express today part of that joy and the commitment of many people to do whatever is necessary to help Valencia have a mayor in her who once again puts the interests of the residents first."
On a national level, the minister called on the Popular Party, Vox, and Junts to support the extension of rental contracts. He warned that not extending them would affect 250,000 people in the Valencian Community, with potential rent increases of up to 600 euros, and that if they vote against it, they will be responsible for the eviction of thousands of families from their homes.
According to a report from his ministry, over 60% of rental homes in Spain are owned by multi-landlords or legal entities, a factor contributing to the housing crisis. The minister insisted that the parties opposing the measure have not provided real arguments and urged them to reconsider their stance, as the measure directly affects millions of people.
