The Secretary of State for the 2030 Agenda and leader of Podemos, Ione Belarra, does not contemplate that the suspension of cuts in energy supplies for vulnerable groups is not linked "one hundred percent" to the anti-eviction decree, since it is not possible to speak of a home worthy without water, electricity and gas.
In addition, he stressed that the compensation for large homeowners included in the future anti-eviction decree It will only be activated when they can demonstrate that they suffer financial damage, so that investment funds or banks will not receive compensation for homes that have "dying of laughter."
In statements to TVE, collected by Europa Press, Belarra has indicated that "everything is ready" so that the Council of Ministers Pass this release ban next Tuesday and he does not contemplate that there could be further delays, since in his opinion it is a measure that is already "late". "Before Christmas Eve this measure has to be approved," he reiterated.
The aforementioned decree is a "satisfactory" measure, even though it includes compensations for large holders with which they are not "particularly comfortable." However, it has clarified that they will only be activated when they can demonstrate that there has been economic damage.
"That is to say, if the banks or the vulture funds had those houses dead laughing, so that we understand each other, empty and that they did not generate any economic benefit, they will not receive that compensation.
Guarantee rehousing in decent housing
Belarra has ensured that these types of policies have repercussions on people and, for this reason, United We can have insisted so much on launching a new anti-eviction decree that allows stopping "all" the launches of the vulnerable population "of any kind."
It has also highlighted the inclusion of a clause to guarantee that the housing alternative is a "decent" home and to prevent rehousing into shelters, such as in your opinionoccurs in the Community of Madrid.
"We think a shelter cannot be a decent housing alternative that it complies with the mandate of the Constitution and that is why it is included that the housing alternative is a decent home, "Belarra stressed.
"Sometimes there is talk of tension and conflicts but precisely as there are people behind that is why we leave our skin", claimed the Secretary of State to trust that the decree is approved "once and for all."
Decree points
Until now, the stoppage is limited until January of next year and for situations of non-payment of rent due to situations derived from the Covid-19 crisis. Now all cases are included, also those prior to those caused by the pandemic.
The new agreement establishes that the condition of vulnerability will be granted through social services through a binding report, which the courts will have to request compulsorily in the event that those affected allege said vulnerability.
In this case, it is established that these compensations are paid only in the event that the landlord can demonstrate economic damage, thus excluding owners who have empty homes.
The draft of the anti-eviction decree managed by the Government contemplates the option of requesting financial compensation for large homeowners when three months pass without the administration offering a housing alternative to the tenant in a vulnerable situation.
