In this morning's interview on La Hora de La 1, the second vice president of the Government and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, described the tax bonus for landlords announced by Pedro Sánchez this Monday as a "failed policy" and warned that the measure could politically benefit Vox if the PSOE does not effectively address the housing crisis. According to Díaz, the proposal was presented unilaterally, without prior agreement with the coalition partners, and reflects, in her opinion, the Executive's lack of planning to confront the problem of housing access
The minister pointed out that these types of initiatives "can have unexpected political consequences" and stressed that isolated announcements are not enough to guarantee affordable rents or curb real estate speculationSánchez's announcement proposes **a 100% personal income tax rebate for landlords who maintain or do not increase rents**, a measure aimed at curbing price hikes at a time of maximum housing pressure. Both **Podemos** and **Sumar** have criticized this measure, pointing out that **it favors landlords without resolving the structural problems of tenants** and that it could be used politically by the right in the upcoming electionsFor its part, the government spokesperson defended the tax cut as a necessary temporary incentive to prevent rent increases, especially in areas with greater real estate pressure. However, Díaz has insisted that the solution requires **broader and more coordinated measures**, including **rent price controls**, promotion of public housing, and policies that guarantee access to decent housing for all citizens.
