The councilor of IU-V in the City of Lorca, Adoración Peñas, this morning has advanced its intention to raise in the next municipal plenary a political initiative that would aim to have all provisions of a social nature that includes the Regional Housing Law, Including those related to energy poverty and basic supplies, are a reality in the municipality of Lorca.

For IU-V it is necessary that the local administrations contribute to the extent of their possibilities to reverse the current reality in this matter and that housing is increasingly a right and less and less a business.

Article 47 of the Constitution mandates the public authorities to promote the conditions for the realization of the right to adequate housing, such as Article 33 of the Constitution. The same Basic Law that establishes that the property must first fulfill a social function.

One of the most socially detestable situations in this area, says the councilor of IU-V, is the existence of a large bag of empty houses in the hands of banks, while thousands of families have been evicted or have no Possibility of access to decent housing.

Therefore, he says, the first measure we want to raise in this area is the one that affects the real estate of banks.

According to Peñas, to the injustice involved in the evictions of thousands of families, the social irresponsibility of banks is added.

They evicted people and then in many cases disregarded property evicted, either by making an illegal abandonment of their obligations of maintenance and maintenance of housing (recently we have known as in Lorca have been demolished by the neglect of several houses of the SAREB), either making the fat eye in cases that we all know of illegal occupation of homes that generate not a few neighborhood conflicts.

There are neighborhoods in Lorca where these phenomena are the order of the day.

Finally, and to top it all, the municipal government of the PP in Lorca does not even use the 50% surcharge in the IBI to empty houses of banks, as IU-V proposed a few weeks ago to provide greater justice Taxing our taxes, penalizing the antisocial use of housing.

Thus the IU-V aims to make the City of Lorca realize the first guiding principle of housing policy under the Regional Housing Law, which states that public administrations should promote and promote the actions necessary for all citizens Of the Region of Murcia have access to a decent and adequate housing, especially those who have greater economic difficulty to access the real estate market and population groups with social characteristics or specific circumstances that make them more vulnerable.

And in that sense IU-V proposes that the City of Lorca make a registry of empty houses owned by the financial institutions of Lorca, which in addition to serving tax purposes - if ever the PP decides to raise more of the banks and Less of the families in distress - serves as a basis for demanding banks to fulfill their duty to maintain and conserve residential buildings, and above all make it possible to create a large social housing stock, to mobilize that empty housing, to put it In use and in value making possible the orderly rehousing of families with access difficulties, avoiding in passing the phenomena of illegal occupation and degradation of these properties.
