The Next Blow Comes from Brussels, Pushing to Reclassify Land for Vulture Funds and Threatening Access to Housing
From European institutions comes an initiative that aims to reclassify currently protected land. The official discourse talks about streamlining and solving the housing deficit, but the mechanism opens the door for large speculative capitals to control the market. 🏘️⚔️
The Strategy Behind the "European Aid"
The media show how Brussels urges governments to reduce deadlines and bureaucracy. Far from being real aid, this pressure externalizes the problem and benefits actors seeking maximum profitability, not guaranteeing a social right. Citizens, desperate due to rising prices, might perceive any proposal as viable.
Key Elements of Brussels' Proposal:- Reclassify rustic and non-urbanizable land to allow new constructions.
- Reduce processing times and necessary documentation for projects.
- Create a legal framework that facilitates the entry of international investment funds.
When the enemy offers help, observe if it is not he who first created the need; for the most effective war is the one in which the adversary accepts the blow believing it to be a remedy. - Sun Tzu
Real Alternatives from the Public Sector
There are solutions that do not involve handing over the territory to speculation. Spain has thousands of hectares in the hands of the State, autonomous communities, and municipalities. The path should be oriented towards using these assets for the common good.
Proposals to Build Affordable Housing:- Utilize available public land without land costs.
- Combine prefabricated construction systems with 3D printing technology.
- Integrate these methods with traditional techniques and local labor.
Towards a Model that Guarantees the Right to Housing
If it is recognized that every citizen has the right to housing, the fiscal and administrative logic must change. It is proposed to not apply taxes on the first owned home and reduce costs by eliminating administrative fees until the housing is delivered. Taxes should come later, when the citizen already has their home. 🏡🔑
Anything else is just continuing the deception game.
