Final push to pass the new Bill in the Catalan Parliament to extend urgent measures to deal with the housing emergency that will end thousands of evictions

Tomorrow, Friday 10 September 2021, the round of appearances in the Parliament of Catalonia of entities, institutions, organizations and experts to make contributions to the registered text begins, in which the Promoter Group will participate on three occasions

In recent months, the Group Promoting Law 24/2015 has worked to register the new bill aimed at recovering anti-eviction measures annulled by the Constitutional Court and currently has a large parliamentary majority with the support of ERC, Junts , In Common We Can and CUP.

Recall that on January 29 the Constitutional Court annulled the extension of anti-eviction measures of Law 24/2015 achieved with Decree Law 17/2019 leaving Law 24/2015 without the mandatory social rent in terms of rent terminations and occupations, and canceling renewals of social rents. A serious situation that left more than 3,000 families helpless who may lose their social rent they were expecting.

Throughout the month of September, the appearances of entities, institutions, organizations and experts will take place in the Parliament of Catalonia to make contributions to the registered text.
