The measure was an explicit election promise of the PP and is the fulfillment of our program,” justified Mariano Juan, first vice president and executive councilor of the Department of Territory, Tourism Planning, Mobility, Road Infrastructure and Fight against Intrusiveness. “What is the PSOE’s alternative? To leave hundreds of Ibizan families in limbo in homes that they have inherited and that cannot be reformed. We already said it in the plenary: the impact of this law on the territory and resources is zero, the positive impact on Ibizan families, is incalculable,” he has detailed in journalistic statements. “The PSOE, we insist, is lost in the courts, we ask you to return to politics and sensible and profitable proposals,” he emphasized. And he concluded: “Remember that this law concerns buildings that can not be demolished, what does the PSOE want to leave? A cement cemetery and families evicted from their homes because they can not adapt them? This law makes it possible to recognize a reality that exists, families that exist, lives that exist. It is not, as the PSOE says, to add more pressure. It is to provide solutions”. Already in June, when the Consell approved the application of the urban amnesty, Juan had justified: “What we do is, on what can no longer be demolished, give the owners the opportunity to make them legal constructions, that they can renovate them and that, in addition, they do it with criteria of sustainability and energy efficiency”.
