Antonio Maestre: Spain and the right to housing

Journalist Antonio Maestre criticized Spain, stating that it "privileges owners of large capital," leading to "inequality." He claimed that in Spain, the "right to private property is too protected at the expense of the human right to housing." Maestre noted that the "Spanish model is aimed at supporting large owners, those who can buy and have significant capital."

"I will give you an example."

"In the same year, there were two measures, two state policies: one provided tax incentives for public partnerships in the amount of210 million euros, and the other - in the state investment plan of the General State budgets for social housing construction - provided137 million euros. This means that tax incentives for partnerships are80 million euros more than investments in social construction," Maestre noted."

According to the journalist, "it is evident that the system is designed to support those who have more money, which leads to inequality." He criticized Spain for "excessively protecting capital and private property at the expense of the human right to decent housing." "Some people have six apartments, while others cannot afford to buy one.
