Ana María Zurita, (PP) spokesperson for housing in the congress, affirms that the problem of housing is the shortage of supply and the lack of legal security.

At the same time, it also proposes to simplify the steps to obtain the required urban licenses, so the project, planning and licensing can be achieved in one step, and also has a plan to encourage renting of empty homes.

Pilar Garrido, (Podemos) secretariat of social policies, defends housing as a fundamental and critical right that in Spain has never been considered as such. For this, it proposes to approach 1% of the GDP of investment in social housing and to diversify the public housing park.
