Isabel Díaz Ayuso estimates a 40% drop in the rental market and accuses the central government of halting investments in the Assembly of Madrid.
The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, criticized the central government's housing decrees during the control session in the Assembly of Madrid, as reported by La Razón. Ayuso claims that the measures do not benefit the region and that the rental and purchase markets are suffering serious harm.
An atrocity is being committed against both the rental and purchase real estate markets
According to the president, the rental market has collapsed by 40%. Among the effects she points out, she cites the withdrawal of projects to convert offices into homes, which prevents adding supply in an area where there were thousands of protected homes. She also mentions the halt of a development in Los Berrocales, in Madrid, where various homes were planned.
Ayuso adds that the measure also affects public social supply and harms those who need it most. In her opinion, the regulation prioritizes those who do not pay for housing over those who pay with effort.
The president links these effects to a legal insecurity that, in her view, reduces confidence in Spain and hinders investments. She indicates that it also complicates the arrival of people coming to work for Madrid companies or to study at its universities, as they cannot find housing options.
As an alternative, Ayuso proposes continuing to lower taxes, reducing bureaucracy, and multiplying housing supply. She cites Catalonia as an example, where, according to her words, socialist policies have exacerbated the problem.
