The PP rectifies and will amend the capital city law to maintain protected housing reserves

PalmaMÉS per Mallorca sees in the reform of the Capital Law, which will be debated in Parliament tomorrow, a new open door from the PP to "urbanistic bombshells". The party's spokesperson, Lluís Apesteguia, has assured that the norm is "shamelessly" at the service of the "enrichment of the usual four PP buddies", and has railed against the fact that the norm allows the elimination of a minimum of protected housing units in new urbanistic developments.

The law foresees doubling the resources Palma receives, from 30 to 60 million euros annually, but also giving the city council more flexibility to manage urban planning. Apesteguia, who has announced he will vote against it, said he is in favor of an extraordinary allocation of resources to the city, but criticized that the amendment to the law proposes the elimination of the reserve of official protected housing and limited-price housing in areas that the council decides.

"Where the PP governments decide, no decision criterion is set for where there will be no reserve of protected housing of any kind, thus exempting some developers from this obligation," denounced Apesteguia. After "maximizing" the construction possibilities, the PP "now frees itself from the obligation of a certain number of protected housing units," lamented the deputy.
