The State confirmed that A Coruña, declared a tense zone, will receive just over 7 million euros from state funds aimed at promoting access to housing. This amount is higher than initially announced.
Mayor Inés Rey insisted today on the need for the Xunta to transfer these funds to the City Council, despite state regulations stipulating that autonomous communities are the direct recipients.
Rey criticized the Xunta's "frontal opposition" to the housing law and the setting of price caps, a measure that, according to the mayor, other regions like Catalonia or the Basque Country are implementing.
The mayor recalled that the City Council initiated the declaration of a tense zone and presented a housing plan with actions for the coming years. "To materialize these plans, we need the foreseen state funds," she stated, adding that "it would make no sense for the Xunta to keep these resources" when it opposes the measure.
