Councilman Miguel Angel Alzamora notes that "the 200,000 euros allocated to the housing rental plan are a negligible endowment, to which we must add that these are measures focused primarily on landlords and not those who need to rent a home adjusted to their income"

"The mayor Rafael Gómez says that the Department responsible for housing has a role to act as mediator," says Alzamora, "but that should not be their role." The City Council must act as a promoter of public housing "

NOW MURCIA criticizes that the actions announced by the Government of the PP in municipal housing "are laughable", and that "they do not respond to the important needs and serious deficiencies that the municipality has in this matter".

Councilman Miguel Angel Alzamora notes that "the 200,000 euros allocated to the housing rental plan are a negligible endowment, to which we must add that these are measures focused primarily on landlords and not those who need to rent a home adjusted to their income".

"The Ballesta government in the field of housing operates on the basis of tiny and scattered patches, which do not solve or even address the needs of the municipality," says Alzamora.

"What is needed is a Municipal Housing Plan, as have all the other major Spanish cities, which comprehensively addresses the problem of housing.From Now Murcia we do not stop repeating that the design and provision of this Plan is essential, but PP and C's show a systematic rejection, as they have shown in the motions that we have taken to the Plenary in recent months ".

The council ensures that "the City of Murcia is not promoting a housing policy and is not meeting the demands of families who need help and solutions in terms of housing, for example, when accessing municipal housing, it is giving a very low score to women who have suffered sexist violence, something that we have requested to be modified ".

Alzamora denounces that "in our City Council there is not even a Housing Commission, there are only two specific commissions, on the Murcia Rent and Shantytowns Program, which are also two areas in which the PP municipal government has failed miserably , since the measures to solve the problem of shanty town have only benefited a family, while only 5 people have rented their home through the Consistory ".

"The mayor Rafael Gomez says that the Department responsible for housing has a role to mediate," says Alzamora, "but that should not be their role." The City Council must act as a promoter of public housing, diagnose the needs and take effective measures and sufficiently endowed economically, and prioritize appropriately the

most vulnerable groups.

The renovation and increase of the public housing stock in the municipality is essential and urgent, since there is a stable demand without covering more than 1,000 families each year. "

The councilman of Murcia now recalls that "protect the right to housing is also municipal competence, and therefore we believe that the Government of the City has to make all political and economic efforts to make this right effective."
