Feijóo promises 25,000 euros in tax cuts for young people who buy their first home: "We're going to create a new generation of homeowners"

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, president of the Popular Party (PP) and candidate for Prime Minister, announced plans to provide tax reductions of up to 25,000 euros for young people purchasing their first home. The proposal includes measures aimed at stimulating homeownership among youth, such as deferring property taxes during the mortgage period and offering full guarantees for those unable to save enough for a down payment. Feijóo also pledged to introduce three new laws within his first 100 days in office, on land use, anti-squatting, and co-ownership, to stabilize the housing market. He emphasized the need to balance protections for both landlords and tenants while addressing issues like legal uncertainty and rising rents. These policies were outlined during an event in Seville, where Feijóo spoke alongside regional leader Juanma Moreno.

Spanish Prime Minister candidate Alberto Núñez Feijóo has outlined a comprehensive housing strategy centered on constructing one million new homes during the next legislative term. Speaking at a rally in Seville alongside Andalusian President Juanma Moreno, the leader of the People’s Party (PP) detailed a package of immediate tax cuts, public guarantees, and regulatory reforms aimed at revitalizing the real estate market. He described the proposal as the largest financial aid for homebuyers in Spain’s democratic history, targeting young adults under the age of forty who face significant barriers to entering the property market. The plan is structured around three primary legal frameworks to be approved within the first hundred days of a potential government. These include a reform of the Land Law to streamline administrative procedures for both urban development and construction, a revision of the Horizontal Property Law, and a new anti-squatting law. Feijóo stated that these measures are designed to increase the supply of housing by accelerating construction and encouraging existing owners to return properties to the rental market through enhanced legal security. He noted that under the current administration, construction levels have hit record lows while prices for both rentals and purchases have surged. For young buyers aged up to forty, Feijóo proposed specific incentives including income tax reductions during the first four years of employment, tax deductions for savings designated for home purchase, and public guarantees covering up to 100 percent of the property value for those unable to save sufficient capital. Additionally, he announced a 60 percent reduction in transfer taxes and Value Added Tax for this demographic. Indirect taxes would be deferred until the mortgage is fully paid off. According to calculations presented by his team, a young buyer purchasing a typical 250,000 euro apartment after five years of work could save approximately 25,000 euros in taxes and require 50,000 euros less for the initial down payment. Simultaneously, Feijóo addressed the rental sector with a temporary measure intended to last until increased construction alleviates supply shortages. This involves tax deductions for landlords who commit to keeping rent increases below the Consumer Price Index for contracts renewed for up to three years. Tenants would also receive tax relief based on their income levels. Feijóo emphasized that protecting vulnerable families and providing legal certainty to property owners are compatible goals. He rejected narratives that pit owners against tenants, stating that most owners are honest individuals seeking to supplement their pensions, and refused to participate in strategies that create conflict between the two groups. On the issue of illegal occupation, Feijóo promised that squatters would be removed from occupied homes within 48 hours. He justified this rapid enforcement as a matter of justice, arguing that the law should not protect those who occupy illegally while leaving long-term savers unprotected. He linked this security directly to market dynamics, asserting that greater confidence among owners leads to more available rental units, which in turn stabilizes prices for tenants. Separately, during a visit to Toledo earlier in the week, Feijóo focused on rural areas, presenting fourteen measures to support the countryside. He pledged zero taxes on the acquisition of primary residences in depopulated municipalities and full exemptions on inheritance and gift taxes for family business transfers. For rural entrepreneurship, he proposed a flat self-employment contribution of 50 euros per month for three years for those under forty, a 50 percent reduction in personal income tax for the first two years of activity, and a rural incorporation bonus of up to 15,000 euros. Public guarantees of up to 80 percent of investment costs were also included. Feijóo highlighted the need to reduce bureaucratic burdens in Spain, committing to a normative review that would cut existing red tape by at least 30 percent and prevent duplicate documentation requirements. On European policy, he vowed to oppose any cuts to the Common Agricultural Policy during negotiations for the 2028-2034 budget. He aligned himself with Germany, Italy, and Belgium in demanding an end to excessive European regulation affecting economic activity and the primary sector. He also proposed an Agricultural Taxation Law to align fiscal policies with agricultural production cycles, allowing farmers to build economic reserves during profitable years to offset difficult periods. General fiscal measures were reiterated for all households to counter inflation-driven loss of purchasing power. These include a reduction in personal income tax, a 0 percent VAT rate on basic food items, and lower taxes on electricity, specifically setting VAT at 10 percent and eliminating the tax on electrical energy production. Political opponents have reacted sharply to these announcements. Alejandra Hernández, spokesperson for the PP in Castile-La Mancha, criticized regional president Emiliano García-Page for prioritizing campaign activities for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez over addressing local issues. She contrasted this with Feijóo’s focus on practical solutions regarding immigration, legal security for property owners, and housing access. Within the Senate, PP spokesperson Alicia García expressed hope for a pact with Vox, while Vox representative Pepa Millán indicated openness to agreement formulas. Critics from the ruling Socialist Party argue that the PP is exploiting recent controversies involving socialist officials and protected housing to shift the political narrative. However, Feijóo maintains that housing has become the number one concern for Spanish citizens, rising from the eighteenth position when Sánchez took office. He cited data showing housing prices have risen 31 percent faster than wages, attributing this disparity to the current government's management despite increased revenue and debt capacity.

The PP denounces that Page will campaign for Sánchez while Feijóo proposes solutions to the Spaniards

The spokesperson for the Popular Party (PP) in Castilla-La Mancha, Alejandra Hernández, has accused Emiliano García-Page of intending to campaign for Pedro Sánchez during an election, highlighting what she views as his political priorities. This accusation contrasts with the proposals put forward by national PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who emphasized measures to address irregular immigration, strengthen legal security for property owners against illegal occupation, and improve access to housing. The situation reflects internal dynamics within Spanish politics, particularly between different factions of the PP and their respective approaches to governance and policy.

Bias read (Conservative): The article frames the PP's criticism of García-Page as evidence of his political priorities, contrasting them with Feijóo’s policies on immigration control and property rights, issues typically aligned with conservative agendas.
