Mallorca: Housing strike brings no policy change
Responsible for this content: Frank Menze
In Palma, Mallorca, the Balearic government says it will not change its housing policy after Wednesday’s general strike over housing brought people onto the streets. Its spokesman, Antoni Costa, made that clear on 13 November after a government meeting.
Costa says he understands the frustration over the cost of living, inflation and high housing prices. But the government believes its current measures are right.
It plans to increase the supply of homes, cut taxes and strengthen legal certainty. It also wants to bring land into use and encourage closer cooperation between the public and private sectors. The demonstration has not changed that plan.
