SPAIN
Here Comes The New Rent Control- Government prepares the coup de grace to the rental market from March, intends to decide the rental price for each area within each locality and each province: {Translation}
– Price intervention in the rental market faces its third year in force in 2024 and the Government has announced that it will redouble its commitment to this model which, far from guaranteeing affordable prices for families who opt for this modality in their choice of housing, what it does is to shoot up prices in a way that has managed to expel from the market precisely those sectors, such as young people or families with no previous savings, that it was intended to help.
– In 2022 the Sánchez government limited rent updates to 2% to prevent owners of rental properties from updating their rents to the CPI, which in that year reached rates of over 10%. In 2023 it decided to extend its measure, and in 2024 it has prolonged it but raising it to 3% until now in March the Government activates its price control plan.
– What will this consist of? Basically, the government intends to decide the rental price for each area within each locality and each province. This was announced by Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez at a recent breakfast briefing in Madrid. Rodríguez announced that before the end of February the Rental Reference Price Index will be ready for the declaration of stressed areas, and will begin to be operational at the beginning of next month as a tool for controlling prices.
– This index will be applied to large tenants and landlords entering into a rental contract for the first time, within the stressed areas that have been requested by the autonomous communities.
– “There is the paradox that some communities do not want to apply tensioned zones, but there are mayors and mayoresses who are asking for them to be applied”, she pointed out. Rodríguez stressed that Catalonia is the first community that wants to apply the declaration of a tensioned zone with “immediacy” and has requested it for 140 municipalities, and stressed that the technicians of both administrations have shared the methodology to give a “correct” response to the market.
– Rodríguez’s main objective, she says, is to ensure that any citizen can have access to housing with less than 30% of their income and has drawn attention to the situation in cities such as Madrid, where “not even with 100% of one’s salary can one pay a rent”.
– The vicious circle of rent price control. The problem is that the price of rents has shot up, not because of the voracity of landlords, but because of the government’s own intention to control prices, as well as the overprotection of tenants, homeless people and, most definitely, squatters.
– Not surprisingly, since Sánchez has been in office, the supply of rented housing has fallen by more than 30%. This is a huge slump, which has been accompanied by a growing demand for this type of real estate.
– The lack of legal certainty has been one of the keys. So has price intervention. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, the inability of landlords to raise prices to their tenants by more than 2% has led to 23% of supply being withdrawn while prices have risen by nearly 15% and are still rising.

Poverty doubles to a new historic peak under Sánchez’s government: {Translation, summary}
– Neither “social shield” nor “government of the people”. These are the failed slogans used by the PSOE government in recent years, that have not translated into greater material well-being for a large part of the Spanish population, quite the contrary. In fact, poverty, far from being reduced, has increased substantially under Pedro Sánchez’s mandate.
– This is reflected in the Living Conditions Survey 2023 published on Monday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). The percentage of the population with severe material deprivation rose from 8.1% to 8.9% last year, reaching a new all-time high, surpassing even the high rates recorded during the last financial crisis.
– This concept analyses specific variables: not being able to afford to go on holiday at least once a year; not eating meat, chicken or fish every other day; not being able to meet unforeseen expenses; not being able to keep the home at an adequate temperature; suffering delays in the payment of expenses related to the main home (mortgage or rent, gas bills, community fees…) or in instalment purchases in the last 12 months; and not being able to afford a car. In essence, what it reflects is a situation of severe economic hardship.
– And the key is that severe poverty in Spain (suffering from four of the six concepts considered) has almost doubled since 2019, when Sánchez’s last term of office began, since then the rate was 4.7%. Likewise, 19.2% of those surveyed suffer from at least three of these deprivations, up from the previous maximum recorded in 2014.
– When analysing the factors that determine “severe material and social deprivation”, it is worth noting that 37.1% of households are unable to meet unforeseen expenses (compared to 35.5% in 2022) or that 33.1% could not afford to go on holiday away from home for at least one week a year (0.4 points less than the previous year). Almost 30% cannot replace damaged or old furniture; 20.7% cannot keep their home at the right temperature; and 13.6% have had delays in paying for housing-related expenses or instalment purchases. Likewise, 9.3% of the population said that it was “very difficult” to make ends meet in 2023 (0.6 points more than in the previous year).
– Finally, the Autonomous Regions with the highest at-risk-of-poverty or social exclusion rates were Andalusia (37.5%), the Canary Islands (33.8%), Extremadura (32.8%), Castile-La Mancha (31.7%) and Murcia (30.5%). The lowest, on the other hand, are in the Basque Country (15.5%) and Navarre (17.2%).

Sumar waves the flag for housing and demands that the PSOE act against illegal increases in old rents: {Translation, summary}
– Sumar (far left/communist) is trying to set its own profile within the Government and is raising the tone so that the Ministry of Housing, which is controlled by the PSOE (socialist left), puts a stop to abuses against tenants with old rents. The coalition led by Yolanda Díaz registered a question in Congress this Friday urging the Minister of Housing, Isabel Rodríguez, to take “the necessary measures” to deal with the rises in these rental payments above the legal ceiling of 3%, a practice which, according to Sumar, has been increasing in recent months and which especially affects “retired people and those with modest pensions”.

ANDALUCÍA
Raging inflation and skyrocketing rents drive the percentage of the population at risk of poverty or exclusion in Andalucia in 2023 to 37.5%: {Translation, summary}
– The percentage of the population at risk of poverty or exclusion grew in Andalusia in 2023 to 37.5% according to the INE. The percentage of the population at risk of poverty or social exclusion – the so-called ‘Arope rate’ – grew 1.7 points in 2023 in Andalusia compared to the previous year (35.8%) to 37.5 per cent, which is eleven points higher than the national average, which stood at 26.5 per cent.
– In this way, Andalusia was only behind Ceuta among the Autonomous Communities with a higher Arope indicator in 2023, according to data from the Survey of Living Conditions of the National Institute of Statistics (INE), corresponding to 2023, released this Monday.

MALAGA PROVINCE
Almost 50 people investigated for breaking property planning laws across Malaga province:
– Officers from Guardia Civil’s nature and environment protection branch Seprona inspected various properties across the area as part of the police operation and found 46 people – including builders, technical directors and landowners – were in breach of planning laws. With 179 inspections in all the municipalities of Malaga province, officers detected 192 breaches, mainly for lack of planning permission, failure to comply with the project and/or the license, earthworks, and others.
– Of the breaches, officers noticed a trend of illegal construction of single-family homes on rural land, in some cases in protected areas, as well as the illegal installation of prefabricated houses for residential purposes. Authorities also discovered property owners who had illegally installed swimming pools under the cover of it as a pool, building tool sheds without permission and others.
– There were 30 urban planning breaches in the towns of Ronda, Mijas, Ojén, Casares, Estepona, Manilva, Coín, Pizarra, Alhaurín el Grande, Alhaurín de la Torre, Álora, Alozaina, Canillas de Aceituno, Rincón de la Victoria, Tolox, Competa and Torremolinos. The proceedings for these offences have been sent to the environmental prosecutor’s office in Malaga.

Malaga closes the year with a 17 percent decrease in mortgage signing: {Translation, summary}
– The evolution of the real estate sector, as can be seen from the analysis of the mortgage market evolution indicators (INE), is once again on the decline. According to the latest data published by the National Statistics Institute for December 2023, collected by Prisma, there has been a year-on-year decrease of 1,205 mortgages on homes in the last month of 2023, in line with the negative trend that has been observed since the middle of 2022, which translated into relative terms results in a variation of -17% for December.
– The socio-economic observatory of the province of Malaga looks at the relative year-on-year evolution of the total amount of all mortgages signed on housing, which also shows a decrease, in this case by -10.8%.

Malaga’s Corrupt Tax Officials Investigated- The case for alleged irregularities in proceedings before the AEAT continues against 27 people: {Translation, summary}
– The Court of First Instance number 1 of Malaga has agreed to continue as abbreviated proceedings the case against an alleged network of officials of the State Agency of Tax Administration (AEAT) in Malaga for alleged irregularities in management after orders from agencies and businessmen. A total of 27 people are under investigation in this case, eight of whom are civil servants.
– The rest of the defendants in this case, which has more than 7,000 pages, are professionals from agencies, consultancies or businessmen who commissioned the allegedly irregular procedures, according to judicial sources reported to Europa Press. Alleged crimes of falsification of public documents, bribery, prevarication and disclosure of secrets are being investigated.
– Thus, as they have indicated, the investigation carried out since mid-2022 has shown that it allegedly offered managers and companies to carry out allegedly irregular procedures, such as the processing of taxpayer files to expedite them, remove embargoes or grant postponements, among other cases.
– In addition, these persons allegedly also carried out the issuance of tax and digital certificates without meeting established requirements, such as face-to-face; and other false ones in which, for example, it was reported that a taxpayer was aware of payment and without debts in the Treasury when it was not actually true.

TORROX
The town council of Torrox calls for more Guardia Civil officers in response to the increase in thefts in rural areas: {Translation, summary}
– The plenary session of Torrox Town Council has agreed to ask the Central Government to increase the number of personnel and resources of the State Security Forces and Corps in the province and in particular in the municipality, in view of the increase in robberies that has occurred recently in rural areas.
– According to the spokesman of the government team, José Manuel Fernández, proposer of the motion, “we have been able to observe how the increase in burglaries in rural houses in our municipality in recent months has been a constant”. For the councillor, the situation affects not only the residents, but also inland tourism.

SEVILLA
Sevilla plans to start charging entrance fee to city’s iconic Plaza de España tourist hotspot:
– Seville city council plans to close free access for tourists to the city’s iconic Plaza de España and will start charging an entrance fee. Admission will remain free, however, for local residents registered in Seville and those born in the city. Proceeds from the admission fee will go towards improving the conservation and security of the area and allow the creation of a ceramics workshop school to help maintain the popular monument.
– According to the draft agreement, horse-drawn tourist carriages will continue have free access to the square, as well as staff working in the premises and people visiting the area for administrative purposes.

The central government refuses to restrict access to the Plaza de España and the Board recalls that it requires consensus: {Translation, summary}
– The controversial proposal launched by the Seville City Council to close the Plaza de España and charge tourists to enter – from which Seville residents registered in the province would be exempt – income that would be used for its preservation and maintenance, continues to arouse reactions against it. After criticism from the municipal groups PSOE and Podemos-IU, which already took a stance against the bill on Sunday, this Monday has continued to attract opposition from different administrations, entities and even civil society, which has started a collection of signatures to stop this initiative.
– The most prominent reaction has been that of the First Vice-President of the Government and Minister of Finance, María Jesús Montero, who has warned this Monday that “privatising public space cannot be the answer to the care and preservation of the Plaza de España in Seville, a cultural jewel that belongs to everyone. The Ministry of Finance is certainly not going to lend itself to this”. In this case, the initiative could not be carried out, given that the Directorate General of State Heritage, which is responsible for this matter, is part of the Ministry’s portfolio.

MARBELLA
Green light to turn more seawater into freshwater so La Concepción reservoir does not run dry:
– At the moment the Marbella desalination plant, which turns seawater into freshwater by filtering out the salt, has been pushed to its limit and at times can produce half the freshwater consumed on the western Costa del Sol.
– It is good news then that the go ahead has just been given for a nine month project to almost double the capacity of the desalination plant in Marbella. Instead of 12 cubic hectometres a year, the plant will be able to produce 20. The plan for a portable plant next to it instead was abandoned.

EUROPE
Hungary approves Sweden joining Nato after months of delays:
– Hungary’s parliament has approved Sweden’s Nato accession nearly two years after the historically neutral country applied to join the western military alliance, bringing to an end months of diplomatic wrangling. Now that the parliament has approved the move, the decision will be sent to Hungary’s interim president, László Kövér, who will have five days to sign off on it and send it to the US state department in Washington. Under Nato protocol, the US government must be notified of member states’ ratification of a new country.
– Speaking after the vote in Budapest on Monday, the Swedish prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, hailed “a historic day”. “The parliaments of all Nato member states have now voted in favour of Swedish accession to Nato. Sweden stands ready to shoulder its responsibility for Euro-Atlantic security,” he said.
– At a press conference later, he described the move as a homecoming for the country, which ditched two centuries of neutrality and military non-alignment when it applied to join the military alliance in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Sweden now leaves 200 years of neutrality and alliance-independence behind us.” Full article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/26/hungary-parliament-vote-ratify-sweden-nato-membership
ENERGY CRISIS
Mercedes Scraps Plan To Only Sell Electric Vehicles:
– Mercedes-Benz is scrapping its plans to only sell electric vehicles after 2030 as consumer demand for EVs remains lower than what automakers projected.
– “Customers and market conditions will set the pace of the transformation,” Mercedes said in its fourth quarter earnings statement. “The company plans to be in a position to cater to different customer needs, whether it’s an all-electric drivetrain or an electrified combustion engine, until well into the 2030s.” The report said that the company only expects EV sales to reach “up to 50%” of their total sales by that point, indicating that it could be even less than half.
– Ford announced last month that it was making significant cuts — around 1,400 employees — to the number of workers who produce its once-touted F-150 Lightning truck at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center due to low customer demand.
