CCOO Asturias has demanded this Thursday that the Principality of Asturias implement guarantees so that people who own empty homes have security guarantees to rent them in an economically affordable regime and thus mobilize the more than 100,000 empty homes in Asturias.
In a statement, the union has called the one proposed by the president of the Asturian Construction Confederation, CAC Asprocon, Joel García, who recently criticized the alleged excess of regulation in housing in the Principality, a “predatory brick model.”
In contrast, the person responsible for Institutional Policy, Ana María Rodríguez, has stated that it is necessary to launch the rehabilitation of empty homes to solve the serious problem of the existence of “people without houses and houses without people.”
Likewise, the union has rejected the employers’ desire to “build for the sake of building” and has considered it “urgent” to create a public housing stock under a “permanent protection regime” to guarantee that the buildings constructed cannot be disqualified and passed into the hands of private in the future.
For this reason, CCOO Asturias has requested that a State Investment Fund be created to build around 50,000 homes per year throughout the country and that the “predatory model” of speculation be rejected, which, according to what it has stated, slowed down construction and brought led to evictions and poverty during the last financial crisis.
CCOO has also been in favor of capping rental prices in stressed areas and ensuring that people can access their right to housing.
