The Government has announced that it will grant a further three-month period to measures to make the effects of the Ukrainian war more bearable. Breathing for those who can't survive. Or the time paid with public money to keep fighting for the control of global resources among the imperialists. Without diminishing the importance of the first option, feeding the disease and ensuring unlimited regeneration of the system will not solve anything, on the contrary.
In Navarra, despite the clashes between the members of the government, the housing law is about to be approved. It was approved in Madrid at the state level and for years the subjective right to housing has been recognized in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country. Within this different regulatory framework, the evictions announced this week will be carried out. Laws have increased 35 per cent of rentals in San Sebastian, and lifelong indebtedness remains the main way to housing.
It is speculators who decide in practice where they will live in most towns and cities. And the answer is getting stronger. The struggle to create opportunities for a decent life project is consolidated, leaving mere survival behind. We need housing laws that tackle speculation with effective measures. Airbnb reportedly goes to court against the compensation law in the Northern Basque Country, as a sign that the measure taken makes it difficult for the right to housing to prevail over business. It is therefore possible to cope with the disease if we stop feeding vultures in cities!
