The Full Council of Lorca in Spain calls on the Government not eliminate aid to public housing (27/09/2010)

The Corporation to demand that the National Government, with the favorable vote against the PP and PSOE and IU, to extend the term of the moratorium in the realization of housing savings accounts in a year and do not have to repay rent aid young people whose incomes exceed marked by exceptional revenues such as overtime, bonuses unusual or redundancy.

The Full Council of Lorca was approved this morning, with votes for the PP and PSOE and IU against a motion which asks the Government of Spain to stop the budget cuts announced by the Minister of Housing the 27th July, and it directly affects the existing core programs Housing Plan and the financing of the Autonomous Communities.

In this regard, City Councillor for Housing Lorca, Joaquin Ruiz, has stressed on the motion he argued that "aid for the purchase of a subsidized housing are a basic and essential financial support to the first access to housing. For Thus, the announced cuts will undermine the chances of access to housing for much of the population of our country. The main crop is the one left without aid to those families who want first access to housing. It is a as totally antisocial and unsupportive, affecting more to the less fortunate. More than 2,000 families Murcia is affected by this measure. "

"The alternative proposed by the Ministry to raise the level of funding to 90% (previously 80%) of the price of housing has already been rejected by the banks themselves to the recommendations of the Bank of Spain. The government itself no nation has dared to force them to fund about 90% of housing and the draft decree says that the banks will finance up to 90% of housing, "the mayor stressed.

That young people do not lose rental assistance for job loss

Similarly, the Corporation Lorca, only the votes in favor of popular local group, has asked the Zapatero government to amend the Royal Decree that regulates the Basic Income Emancipation of young people in order to prevent tens of thousands of them must return the support to exceed the income limit, the income amounts computárseles as absolutely exceptional, and that in any case correspond to regular income such as amounts received for overtime, bonuses unusual or redundancy.

Transformation of housing accounts business accounts

The agreement, to which local groups have opposed the Socialists and United Left, also claiming the socialist Executive to extend the term of the moratorium in the realization of housing savings accounts in a year for the purchase of residence until 31 December 2011 to amend the Law on Income Tax of Individuals and partial modification of the laws of the Company Tax on Nonresident Income and Wealth, so that subjects benefit deduction for housing savings account to transfer the amounts to a savings account business, or change the status of the account, to continue to benefit from the deduction and the ultimate goal of starting a business or to use those resources to improve training.

The motion states that "economic policy of the Government of the Socialist Party has broken the long path of economic growth for employment who lived in the Spanish economy since the arrival of the Popular Party government and has resulted in the most serious and intense job destruction recent history of the Spanish economy. "

Specifically, it notes that "the government's failure to control public spending and reduce the deficit now forced to take radical measures of spending cuts that could have been avoided if the government had long controlled the situation."

All these factors, coupled with economic uncertainty and labor, have had a direct impact on the housing market, one of which is suffering the worst economic crisis.

While the figures for the second quarter of 2010, reflecting an increase in transactions due to the rise of VAT in July, from the first quarter of 2007, the number of transactions has fallen by 35%.

Over the past three years the construction sector in the Region of Murcia has been the most beaten by the crisis.

It has lost nearly 50% of jobs created over the past fifteen years have destroyed one of every two jobs.

Moreover, as noted in the text adopted, the level of destruction of businesses has been very significant.

Have closed nearly 20% of existing enterprises.

And in terms of productive activity in the residential sector, ie housing, the level of contraction of activity was about 80%.

This percentage means that where before they built 100 homes are now built 20.

The measures announced by the national government will cause a worsening of the situation and directly a detrimental effect on employment, as each home being built is generated 2.5 jobs in addition to the multiplier effect on employment generation results in activities and amenities.

With housing cuts 5,000 jobs will be lost Zapatero

The estimates are that 2,000 public housing will not see the light in the next two years.

If for every home being built is generated 2.5 jobs, cutting measures will cause the loss of 5,000 jobs in the coming years.

Builders, painters, carpenters, structured product providers, plumbers, electricians, etc., will join the unemployment rolls.

But besides the direct jobs, the measure will cause serious damage and job losses in companies, freelancers, activities and amenities to housing as are the other agents in the building: architects, quantity surveyors, engineers, telecommunications, industrial, etc.

In the current context, characterized by high household debt, lack of credit, high rates of unemployment and negative expectations about the economic recovery, it is clear that many families have been forced to postpone their decision to purchase a home.

In these circumstances, claim to citizens, drowning financially, to return to the tax office deductions to which they were placed in a period of economic prosperity, further damage the precarious financial situation as well as to penalize those who have been saving.

In particular, this situation affects the young and disadvantaged families.

However, as recounted in the motion "the government ignore this situation, has dismantled virtually decided the Housing Plan, leaving in suspense the development of subsidized housing and direct aid to the purchase of the poorest citizens as part of the overall policy of social cuts being carried out by the government.
