Minister Óscar López earned €84,377.67 gross in 2025 and is listed as owning four properties between Madrid and Segovia, according to his 2023 asset declaration.
The information, published by larazon.es, details that Minister Óscar López received €84,377.67 gross as a minister in 2025, according to data from the Transparency Portal of the General State Administration collected by Transparentia. In his 2023 asset declaration, he listed four properties between Madrid and Segovia, three of which are shared.
During a conference of the PSOE of Madrid held in June 2025, López defended intervening in the housing market. Referring to Ibiza and Mallorca, he stated that prices make it difficult for certain places to attract employees.

The list of assets includes a property in Madrid purchased in 2006, entirely in his name, and 50% of a property in Segovia bought in 2020, along with half of a garage. The other two properties were inherited in 2022, with a 25% share in one located in Madrid and another 25% in one in Segovia.
In that same declaration, he also reported €60,000 in a current account and two mortgage loans. The one formalised with La Caixa in 2006 had an outstanding balance of €333,500, and the one from Kutxabank, from 2020 and with a 50% share, had a balance of €122,000.
Regarding the nature of housing, López recalled that it is recognised in Article 47 of the Constitution and argued that if it is a right, action must be taken accordingly.

In his speech, he also mentioned golden visas and tourist apartments, attributing them to the influx of foreign investors buying properties for speculation.
Months later, journalist Javier Chicote linked López's ministry to the case of a Muface tenant facing possible eviction. As he explained on the programme “La mesa”, on Antena 3, aired on 14 October, the affected individual requested to continue renting after the death of his mother, who had signed the contract in 1988. He was granted a six-month subrogation, and the subsequent appeal presented to the ministry was rejected.
Chicote stated that the resolution was signed by an official on behalf of the minister. The case concerns a Muface property, unrelated to López's personal properties, and the information disseminated does not confirm the execution of the eviction.
