The spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, said today that the Social Housing Fund has had "no impact" on the town and therefore has failed to solve the problems of families affected by the evictions.

Herguedas recalled that this fund is the result of an agreement between financial institutions and the central government to constitute a stock of housing that families evicted Would Tender for social rent between 150 and 400 euros per month.

Councillor explained that the agreement involved the active participation of municipalities to facilitate credit institutions that requested reports from Social Services Primary Care seeking families of these homes.

In his view, this fund was "promoted by the PP government with fanfare to counter the proposed Legislative Initiative in lieu of retroactive payment introduced in Congress Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) more than 1,400 000 signatures. "

The mayor noted that the Fund has been "counterproductive" because "administrations have used it as an excuse to promote actions in defense of the people affected by mortgages, something that has happened in the city of Murcia, which has not been made nothing for measures proposed by IU-Greens in plenary antidesahucios consistent with the social movement. "

Herguedas noted that in the January plenary session asked about the application data from the Social Fund in the town to the departments of Housing and Social Services and has only four months after the first received a reply, stating that "information has been "but" has not made any report to the banks. "

which was the subject of municipal participation.

"This failure has been repeated throughout the State, with data of shame, as has denounced the PAH, with only 410 homes have been awarded since January 2013 while there have been 70,000 foreclosures."

The mayor also pointed out that this same organization has also denounced the perverse effect of this agreement which have benefited many organizations as an excuse for not granting social rents.
