PP proposes guarantees of up to 40 years to facilitate access to housing in Asturias.

In an effort to position the Popular Party (PP) as a viable alternative in housing matters, the party's secretary general, Cuca Gamarra, announced a significant expansion of guarantees for home purchases, which will extend up to 40 years. This announcement was made in Colunga, Asturias, during a closed-door working session where Alberto Núñez Feijóo, the leader of the opposition, met with regional presidents of the PP to discuss policies that facilitate access to housing. Gamarra explained that these new guarantees will allow citizens to cover 100% of the cost of a home, ensuring an additional 20% that had not been previously considered. This measure is designed with a special focus on youth, a demographic that has faced increasing difficulties in accessing housing in recent years. The PP representative emphasized the importance of these policies in a context where the housing crisis has significantly impacted new generations. The Popular Party has openly criticized the housing policy of Pedro Sánchez's government, which it describes as "disastrous." According to Gamarra, the government's decisions have contributed to a decrease in available rental housing and have created a series of obstacles to the construction of new homes. The PP's secretary general also mentioned the lack of available land and legal uncertainty regarding occupation as factors worsening the current situation. In addition to the expansion of guarantees, the PP is considering other measures aimed at promoting the construction of new homes. Gamarra indicated that strategies are being explored to facilitate the creation of more buildable land and to eliminate administrative hurdles that delay construction processes. These actions are intended to respond to the growing demand for housing and improve access in an increasingly competitive market. The meeting in Colunga has attracted the attention of numerous media outlets, who eagerly awaited news from these discussions. With the presence of several regional PP presidents, expectations were high, especially in a political climate that intensifies as the upcoming elections approach. The PP's strategy appears to be an attempt to consolidate its proposal in contrast to the government's management, which has faced criticism from the opposition. Cuca Gamarra also highlighted other previous agreements reached by the PP, such as free education for children aged 0 to 3 years and the implementation of a nationwide common university entrance exam. These initiatives reflect the party's commitment to establishing policies that benefit citizens and address the challenges faced in daily life. In her speech, the PP's secretary general did not hesitate to criticize President Sánchez's alleged lack of attention to the citizens' needs, asserting that his only concern has been to maintain his residence in La Moncloa. Such messages aim to resonate deeply with voters, appealing to the perception that the current government has failed to adequately manage the social issues affecting the population. The meeting at the Hotel Palacio de Luces, where PP leaders engaged in internal dialogue, took place amidst rainy weather, which could symbolize the challenges the party faces in its attempt to regain voters' trust. Despite the inclement weather, the determination of PP leaders to present a solid alternative is evident. Meanwhile, the absent Juanma Moreno, president of the Junta de Andalucía, will travel to Asturias after attending an event with the royal family. His absence was notable, as it was expected that all regional presidents would be present to discuss these crucial policies on one of the most sensitive topics on the current public agenda. With these new measures on the horizon, the Popular Party aims to strengthen its political position by offering concrete solutions to issues that have affected society. The opposition finds itself at a crucial moment, and the way these policies are articulated and communicated will be decisive in its path towards the upcoming elections.
