The PP of the Balearic Islands gathers its mayors and councilors this weekend in an intermunicipal conference in Ibiza.
The president of the PP Balears, Marga Prohenshas been in charge of the opening, in which she stressed that “we have a brave project, which does not look the other way to the concerns of the people and we have demonstrated it by facing with determination the main problem of the citizens of these islands: access to housing, a social drama before which the PP will not stand idly by”.
Therefore, “we have to give our all in housing, we will not be able to solve it overnight, nor with a specific measure, but people trust us and we will not let them down,” said Prohens.
Thus, Prohens recalled that “hand in hand with the municipalities we have already projected 750 public housing developments in the Balearic Islands for social rent and thinking especially in the residents” since “now, in all new developments we ask a minimum of 5 years of residence in the municipality with a shock plan to bring 7,000 new homes to market at an affordable price.
“We will give new tools for the promotion of new housing by optimizing the land available for new housing, we must expand the availability of land and will not find the Popular Party in failed solutions or giving support to squatters,” said Prohens.
In this regard, the president has been clear and categorical “the PP is clear: the occupation is a crime and we will take all necessary measures to combat it and we will always be on the side of the affected owners”.
On the other hand, Prohens added that “it is time to talk about limits and containment, we have had the courage to say that we are at the limit in terms of tourist congestion, we are also the ones who have had the courage to say that we are at the limit in illegal immigration with the arrival of small boats to our shores and that we are at the limit of migrant minors because we can no longer receive them in decent conditions”.
“We need a drastic change in migration policy, to protect our borders and to fight against mafias and those who have claimed it from the beginning have been the mayors of the Popular Party,” said the president.
“We have done many things, but there are many challenges that we still have to face and there is none that is easy but for this reason the citizens voted for us, to respond and we must do it with the recipes of the Popular Party, because they are the good ones and they are the ones that the citizens of Balearic Islands asked us for, because they are the recipes of change and it is the change of all”, concluded Prohens.
