Spain's Housing Crisis: PP vs PSOE

Published: 2024-10-02

The housing crisis in Spain has become a central issue, with the Popular Party (PP) and the Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) presenting opposing solutions.

The PP, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, focuses on increasing housing supply by incentivizing property owners and reducing taxes on property donations.

They propose stricter criteria for tenant vulnerability to encourage more rentals.

In contrast, the PSOE, under Pedro Sánchez, aims to control rental prices and increase social housing support.

Both parties acknowledge the housing market's challenges, but their strategies reflect deep ideological divides.

The PP criticizes the current government's approach, seeking to attract disillusioned voters, while the PSOE emphasizes social welfare and tenant protection.
