A call for reflection on housing
Recently, the Digna Housing Coordinator issued a statement that has generated an intense debate among the different actors involved in the issue of housing in Andorra. The Association of Real Estate Owners (APBI) has expressed its concern with respect to suggested measures, highlighting the need to look for solutions that are effective and balanced.
The right to manifest and the consequences of the strikes
The APBI emphasizes that although the right to protest is fundamental, actions such as rent strikes may be counterproductive. The call for incomplete rental contracts is seen as a proposal that can lead to illegality and for serious consequences for tenants.
The negative impact of proposed actions
Radical actions not only create confusion, but also determine the owners of offering rents, thus limiting the available housing offer and further complicating access to decent housing.
The need for constructive dialogue
Instead of adopting a confrontative stance, it is essential that all parties involved work in collaboration to find viable solutions. Creating an atmosphere of dialogue can foster measures that improve the current situation for both tenants and owners.
Options for stability of the housing market
The APBI has stated its willingness to take an active part in the housing table, with the aim of establishing policies that encourage housing rehabilitation and increase the available offer. It is also important to guarantee a legal framework that protects the rights of all those involved.
The Impact of a General strike in the Andorran Economy
The idea of a general strike is worrying, as it could have devastating consequences for the country’s economy. Key sector such as trade and tourism could be affected, and this would not help solve the problem of housing, but could worsen the situation of many families.
Conclusions and future proposals
The situation of housing in Andorra is complex and requires a serious and collaborative approach. It is essential that, instead of focusing on specific cases, we work on general solutions that benefit the majority, and that they move towards a more just and sustainable housing model.
