Social housing for all citizens now!
Those of us who have been looking for a house for rent for a long time know that the housing market is a monster. Corruption and immorality have no limits. With a salary of about a thousand euros, today is an impossible job if you want to live alone, and it is also a stressful and discouraging job that can lead you directly to the home.
We are thousands of applicants and the Government of Navarra occasionally responds to the promotion of a few houses and thousands of people are left out. Article 47 of the Spanish Constitution is useless. It was elaborated by elites and political industry professionals to satisfy the financial interests of those who move and move the threads of the housing system: banks, large construction companies, real estate web platforms. In the new Housing Act these structures are also intact. Nobody faces them.
And the system goes on the collar: a deeply inflamed and aberrant market in which we have found irrationality, intimidation, abuse of precarious wages and all kinds of abuses in the rapid search for a reasonable price. For example, real estate agents who call you "pass the law on the testicles", conditions and abusive bonds, and owners who blackmail potential tenants, as well as people who take advantage of social aids to rent the housing given to tenants (Emantzipa and David), precisely because they cannot live at market prices and want to collect these aids in a covert or fraudulent way.
It is a shameful, vulture and perverse market. Many middle-class people, who own a second home, argue that banks have shot their mortgages and have to "rent up." Because a few unjustly play at a very high level (banks, real estate, advertising platforms, construction companies...), the rest also do so at a lower level, and finally, all affect the precariousness of those who are looking for rented housing.
False speeches or fictional "social hidden" are not enough; a sound policy is needed to give effect to the fundamental right to housing
We cannot develop freely as people and live independently, and we must also share weight at excessive and forced prices. It is suspicious that the CEOE employers have taken the initiative of raising wages, salaries with which, of course, you cannot live right now in an extremely inflamed market in all kinds of products. It is shameful that in the twenty-first century people cannot live on our own with wages and without real housing rights.
I believe that a new social mobilization is needed in favour of the right to real housing. It has to be seen and claimed that hundreds of thousands of applicants have been left out of the award of those few floors promoted by Nasuvinsa. In my opinion, trade unions and workers’ organisations tend to join the ideology of the “middle class”, which is not being a solidary mentality, but a follower of bankers, real estate companies and the market of construction companies. And that can only be burdensome, which can slow down the drive of the Socialist Housing Union and the other social groups, which are directly at the heart of real estate capitalism.
We must encourage and encourage governments to exercise with dignity our right to live in a house, to build sufficient social housing to meet existing real demand, to nationalize empty floors if necessary, or to place those who really move the market’s yarns in their place. False speeches or fictional "social hidden" are not enough; a sound policy is needed to give effect to the fundamental right to housing. That you take into account the fundamental right to live and breathe once and for all, and that housing is not the largest social prison today that unites us in the short term, where no one really enjoys the right to life, because a few incarcerators control our lives socially and profitably.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]
The update of the Navarra Energy Plan goes unnoticed. The Government of Navarre made this public and, at the end of the period for the submission of claims, no government official has explained to us what their proposals are to the citizens.

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]
Autobiography writing is, they say, the most effective tool for personal development, the most liberating. Pulling things away from the past and remembering them, it seems that it helps unleash the knots of the present. Yes, it helps to understand the present and to draw a... [+]
I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.
Toilets are the key to public health and play a... [+]
The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]
