Podemos accuses the PSOE of wanting to overturn its amendments to regulate rent and prohibit evictions

MADRID, 3 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Podemos has accused the PSOE of trying to overthrow, in alliance with the PP, the amendments that the confederal group registered jointly with ERC and Bildu to the Budgets for 2023 and that seek to regulate rent and prohibit evictions without a housing alternative.

Sources from the confederal group have indicated that early this Thursday, during the meeting of the Bureau of the Budget Commission that has analyzed the partial amendments presented to the project, its government partner has expressed reservations to the suggestions related to housing.

Specifically, it has been objected that this group of amendments that are intended to be introduced in the Budgets affect the articles of another law, in this case the Housing regulations whose processing is frozen, and that it was not appropriate to affect a law from another legislative project.

For the confederal group, this position represents an attempt to prevent "behind closed doors and without the Parliament expressing itself democratically" this package of amendments related to housing. That yes, they have specified that the decision on knocking down these proposals, however, has not been taken definitively and has been postponed until the celebration of a next table.

On Friday, the confederal group's own spokesman, Pablo Echenique, justified the presentation of these amendments alleging that the 'purples' are not "being able to convince the PSOE" to move forward with the housing law. And this Wednesday he guaranteed that they will "fight" to get them forward, but without compromising the approval of future public accounts.

Meanwhile, the minister and leader of Podemos, Ione Belarra, launched that it is urgent to act and that "it would not be understood that these general budgets, the last great agreement of the legislature, were approved without these measures being in force."
