The PSOE will approve this Sunday at the convention held this weekend in Valencia the framework program for the municipal elections which, among other measures, includes the limitation of the tourist flats and that municipalities already sanction prostitution consumerswithout waiting for Congress to approve the bill of the socialist group against pimping that contemplates this possibility.
PSOE sources have explained that for almost a decade there has been an ordinance in Seville, on which they have based, that fines whoremongers and prohibits advertising in public areas. If any city council wants to do it, they maintain, it has this precedent without the need for a national legal framework because the “sanctions policy is municipal competence.”
The PSOE text includes the “zero tolerance” of the party with the “promotion of prostitution” and “fines for those who consume sexual services”. A behavior, they point out, that “patriarchal society has been concerned with transmitting and maintaining”. “The demand for sexual services is the determining element of the existence of this serious manifestation of violence against women.”

A recent ruling by the Supreme Court has led the Socialists to also include in their program the regulation of tourist apartments to stop the expulsion of residents from the center due to the increase in rents. The PSOE cities “will limit the disproportionate growth of tourist flats”. “We will work for a balanced regulation for tourist activities that affect the coexistence between residents and visitors.
This step was taken after the Supreme Court recently endorsed the ban on tourist apartments in Palma approved by the PSOE, Podemos and Més government in June 2018. Against the background of this decision, which overturned the Court’s previous ruling Superior Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands, it appears that this municipal agreement “does not prohibit & rdquor; the economic activity of tourist accommodation but limits the number that can exist in an area. Party sources assure that this regulation that they aspire to generalize could be similar to those in noise-saturated areas, which prevents the opening of more bars. In no case would it be about ending the tourist apartments that already exist because “it cannot be done retroactively.”
