- Cs will ask for a legal and economic report on the possibility of taxing the IBI on permanently occupied residential real estate, "we can not support or debate this measure without first being able to consult these reports, this debate has already taken place in many Spanish territories, and we must start it here, "says Padín.

Cartagena, Wednesday, February 20 -.

"The work that is being done, the road taken to take seriously the social housing park in Cartagena is the right one, but the Cartagena PP left the bar so low that we can not accept the triumphalism or the socialist conformism," he explained. Today the spokesman of Cs Cartagena, Manuel Padín, recalls that for 105 claimants there are only 12 social housing units available (eight of municipal heritage and four recently transferred by the Bankia entity) so that we can only satisfy 11 percent of the current demand, "that can only increase with the years when the record that the City Council has launched for the first time" is popularized, Padín said.

"105 plaintiffs is simply unreal, only in Murcia there are more than 1,000 families waiting, in Alicante there are 4,000, so we estimate that the real Cartagena figure should be around 400, so we think there is much to do to advertise the registry to access a social housing, "says Manuel Padín.

"These numbers give us an idea of ​​the real problem we have in hand, and it does not escape anyone that the social housing park that is in charge of the City Council and the Community in Cartagena is very scarce," says Manuel Padín who says "It is essential" to intensify conversations with the Ministry of Development and the Ministry to increase their contributions to the construction and habilitation of social housing in the municipality, a policy that has been neglected for years, "said the orange spokesman.

In this sense, Manuel Padín stresses that in the report presented on the 2018 management of the Housing Assistance and Intermediation Service of the City Council, "it is clear that they are still pending to establish a collaboration protocol with the Ministry of Public Works, an issue that we have already transferred to our colleagues in the Assembly to ask for explanations to counselor Patricio Valverde. "

More proposals from Cs

In addition, Citizens will request in the Plenary that the Government of Cartagena commission a legal and economic report to clarify the options to apply in Cartagena the possibility offered by the Law of Local Treasuries to apply a surcharge on the IBI of up to 50 percent of the share of the tax to the owners of the "vacant properties with permanent character", and even the option of increasing the surcharge in some cases ".

Citizens remember that Cartagena already gives the possibility in its ordinances to reward up to 95 percent, the IBI owners who want to rent their empty apartments for social use, "but we also have to analyze if we can act in this direction, we are fully aware of the debate that this measure has generated in many communities of our country, and I believe that we must also initiate this dialogue in Cartagena, from Ciudadanos we can not support this measure without first being able to consult those reports ".

Cs believes that encouraging homeowners to assign them to social uses would also contribute to deflating the bubble that exists in the rental of tourist flats, "a growing concern that is already generating a general increase in rent," said the spokeswoman. of Cs.

Finally, Padín believes that there is a lot of room to optimize the coordination of municipal plans for social rent with similar projects of the Community and the State.
