The Minister of Housing, Isabel Rodríguez, has attacked Podemos after calling her a “rentist” in Congress by exclaiming that her properties “They are not worth even half of the Galapagar chalet”in reference to the home that Pablo Iglesias, former leader of the purple party, and the party’s now MEP Irene Montero bought in this Madrid municipality.
Rodríguez spoke in these terms during his appearance in Congress on access to housing when the general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has accused the members of the Government and the minister specifically of be a “rentista” for having three properties.
These words have been responded to by the party’s co-spokesperson, Javier Sánchez Serna, who on the social network ‘X’ has accused Rodríguez of “losing your papers” when he was reminded that he has three rented homes. Given this “lowness”, he concluded, “it is clear” that they do not want to draw up the General Budgets with Podemos, which is why he has urged him to look for the PP.
Belarra, who has long criticized the Minister of Housing for asking landlords for solidarity to lower rents and who conditions support for the Budget on lowering rents by 40% by law, has also attacked Rodríguez saying that the only way in which its management is explained is that it plans to be the future president of the Rental Homeowners Association (Asval), where socialists such as Joan Clos or Isabel Pardo de Vera have already passed.
Given these allusions, the minister responded to Belarra in her turn to reply. «With my three properties that you have mentioned, I have no not even to pay half of the Galapagar villa», he said, in reference to Iglesias and Montero’s home.
Rodríguez reminds Belarra that she was a minister
Rodríguez has regretted the critical stance that Belarra maintains towards the Government and has reminded her that she was a minister in the last legislature, when the current head of Housing was spokesperson for the Executive.
“I even made an effort to defend you when you were attacked personally. For this reason, I regret that you try to manipulate my statements to obtain a little political and party performance,” said the minister.
Before and in statements to the media, Belarra has maintained that the minister is not aware that “a tsumani is coming” due to the enormous “anger and social unrest” due to the high cost of housing, with protests calling for his resignation.
