The PNV confirms that it will save the 'Maricarmen decree' despite the rental offer sinking by 27% in the Basque Country: "It protects those who have two homes or less"

The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) plans to support the Maricarmen decree despite significant declines in rental offers in Basque capitals. Data shows a 27% drop in rental listings in Vitoria and similar declines in San Sebastián and Bilbao. The PNV argues that the first decree includes necessary measures, while it opposes the second decree sponsored by Sumar, which it believes harms small property owners. Experts suggest the first decree is causing more damage to rental availability. The PNV, in coalition with socialists, applies housing laws selectively to address rental tensions without broad intervention.
