President of the Military Junta of Castile and Leon, Alfonso Fernandez Manico, He sent a letter to the Minister of Housing and Urban AgendaIsabel Rodriguez, urging her organization to contribute 306.14 million euros, which corresponds to its needs. … To the community under the Government’s Housing Plan 2022-2025 “to meet their own declarations”.
The letter responds to the “inaccuracies” contained in recent statements made by the minister in her recent visits to the community, according to a statement sent by the regional government. It states that it is unacceptable to ensure that the Council does not contribute resources to the promotion of affordable rental housing in Castilla and León.
In this letter, Fernández Manico details the “accurate data” that prove “reality” and considers it “essential” to publish them rigorously. In fact, the president recalls, a minority of these promotions benefit from the recovery plan’s programs.
Specifically, it states that out of the €54.3 million transferred to Castilla and León from Next Generation Funds, the Council allocated €50.1 million for this purpose and added €86.6 million from its own resources. As a result, European financing It represents 36.65% of the total amount of the fifteen promotions being implemented, The remaining 63.35% is held by the Board of Directors, and that is only in co-financed development projects, since “there are many works in which the Government of Castile and Leon bears the entire financing.”
Regarding the government’s housing plan 2022-2025, Fernandez Manico criticized the minister’s statement when she emphasized that “three out of every four euros invested in housing corresponds to the central government.” To prove this, the letter highlights that, compared to the 77.92 million pledged by the Ministry, the Executive of Castile and León has already contributed 126.69 million, and that “even adding the State Youth Bonus” the two departments will contribute 50%. Moreover, remember that in this legislature, the regional government allocated an additional €443 million to various housing policies, thus depriving the supposed majority contribution by the central executive.
Fernández Manico points out that if the Minister really confirms that the Government of Spain contributes three out of every four euros to housing in Castile and Leónthe community will estimate a contribution of $306.14 million missing, which would allow this percentage to be achieved.
Finally, the President notes that the Regional Executive is committed to dialogue and interdepartmental cooperation to facilitate access to housing for the residents of Castile and León.
