"It is important to address reality, and in tourism, this type of tourist accommodation, which are economic activities that sometimes and certain territories and cities affect the effectiveness of the right of access to housing," she said, warning that the message also goes to localities where this phenomenon is not yet perceived as a problem.
Rodríguez pointed out that what the central government proposes is that communities and local entities "attack and govern this reality; what cannot be done is avoid it, not see it or not want to look at it." "We have to act against it," she said and revealed that it was one of the topics she asked the mayor of Betanzos, María Barral, about during her visit to this municipality.
Rodríguez considered that it is not a quantitative question, of number, but rather that the presence of this type of housing leads to an increase in rental income "in the face of the decrease in supply."
"We have to organize this reality and when it is necessary to prohibit, as the Barcelona City Council has done, we have to prohibit and we must regulate it as the different autonomous communities are doing," she assured.
