The deputy of the CUP, Laia Estrada, reproached ERC for not having “had the nose” to negotiate the transfer of Rodalies in its pacts with the PSOE. “Yes, they have moved to Vallès to allow the fourth ring road, they are not ashamed,” he has reproached the Republicans, adding that what they want is “a road network in good condition.” In a act in Santa Coloma de Gramanet where the CUP has given the starting signal to the electoral pre-campaign. In front of some 400 people, he has presented his 167 candidacies for the elections, the candidate for mayor of Barcelona, Basha Changuehas assured that his formation will return to the consistory to “throw the vultures out of the city, defend the right to housing and recover the Catalan rent containment law because it is minimal.”
In the same sense, Estrada has expressed himself, who has criticized that the Spanish government’s housing law approved with the support of ERC “It does not regulate the rent, nor does it prevent evictions, nor does it provide for social rent.” In his opinion, it is an electoral maneuver tailored to the vulture funds”. Given this, he has urged ERC, Junts y Comuns to take advantage of the majority in Parliament to recover the rent containment law to guarantee the right to housing worthy.
“ERC, Comuns, Junts, join common sense”, has claimed the candidate for mayor of Barcelona, who recalled that “people do not live with good intentions, nor are rents paid with great proclamations”. “It is not understood, people without houses and houses without people”, she ended up shouting, remembering the movement for housing.
“The railway system steals our lives”
The deputies also stressed the need to guarantee a decent public transport network through more resources. “Enough of this rail system that steals our lives, that we have no idea when we will get home,” Estrada criticized, reproaching the road chaos of the last week caused by the breakdown of the R2 Sur.
