Estefania Molina stated that in Spain sacrifices were already being demanded to finance pensions and labeled as false any claims to the contrary. She argued that there was a contributory deficit of 60 billion euros, covered by taxes, debt, and funds from other budget items. As an example, she pointed out that investment in housing and infrastructure had proportionally declined since the year 2000. She also said that the Escrivá reform aimed to increase taxes and contributions from a impoverished working population. She raised the issue that it was not whether pensions were sustainable, but how unjust they had become between generations, and announced a new video on her YouTube channel. https://t.co/fsMo0AqTao #Pensiones #Economía #Reforma (translated)

Estefania Molina said that, after discovering that Jon González was in the auditorium during her talk in Oñati, many young people approached to take photos with him and ask him to sign Molina's book. She called him her "rock star" and said that he had insisted on coming back because they missed him. She also asked her followers to support the petition to be able to show it to him. #Oñati #JonGonzález #charla (translated)

Estefanía Molina stated that the Supreme Court did not prevent voting for those who had demonstrated exile for political reasons and had the required consular certification. She questioned that an instruction expanded that possibility to almost any case and that people who had never lived in Spain could participate in the elections, even though their impact was reduced. She also noted that other countries required additional requirements to vote from abroad, even for national citizens, and mentioned Borrell's statements about Germany. Molina made these statements yesterday on Mediodía RNE, alongside Freecanusa. #VotoExterior #DerechosCiviles #Elecciones2023 (translated)

Estefania Molina stated that Gabriel Rufián had received praise for years for being helpful to the interests of the PSOE and that, now that ERC was defending its own interests, he would be criticized and attacked. She also claimed that an alliance with Podemos made no sense because ERC was independence-minded, while Podemos was a Jacobin party that had questioned Catalan self-government during negotiations over immigration competencies. According to Molina, the criticisms were not related to those differences, but rather to the fact that Rufián had stopped being useful. #Política #Cataluña #ERC (translated)

Estefania Molina stated that the space to the left of the PSOE had focused its debate for weeks on egos and positions, while barely any of its proposals were known. She affirmed that Pedro Sánchez was already running for election with the program of Podemos, Frente Amplio, and other formations, and pointed out that, in her opinion, the problem with that part of the left was that it no longer differentiated itself from the PSOE, not who was losing their salaries. #Política #Elecciones #Izquierda (translated)

Estefanía Molina asserted that approving a decree in the Permanent Deputation that Congress had rejected constituted, in her opinion, a fraud of law. She pointed out that other omnibus decrees had been approved in that body, but they had not been previously rejected by the Chamber. She also warned that the Constitutional Court could make a ruling when there was already another Government and the decree had produced effects, and stated that those who were supposed to control legality tended to respond late. Molina made these statements the day before on Mediodía RNE, alongside Freecanusa. #Derecho #Política #Gobierno (translated)

Estefania Molina wrote that she did not believe Pedro Sánchez had yet decided whether to call elections. Nevertheless, she maintained that he was an unparalleled politician in Spain for decades and the undisputed leader of the left. Molina recalled that in 2016 Sánchez obtained 85 seats, while Podemos was gaining strength and Pablo Iglesias was sparking enthusiasm among young people. According to her, the PSOE, with 150 years of history, was then facing the risk of disappearing. The author considered Sánchez's economic policies to be counterproductive and short-term, stating that growth was supported by the increase in the number of workers rather than by productivity. She also described his housing policies as populist and said they pointed the average owner as guilty without addressing the underlying problem. Despite these criticisms, Molina asserted that Sánchez was the best politician known to a generation of young people. She added that, in her view, he would call elections when he could ensure the PSOE a solid position in opposition, and maintained that the right could not aspire to have a leader like him. #PedroSánchez #PolíticaEspañola #Juventud (translated)

Estefania Molina pointed out that a general strike was being considered and stated that none had been called in eight years, despite inflation and the significant rise in housing costs. In her opinion, the current protests were a response to the fact that the Government's measures, which she wrote would only worsen the problem, were not progressing. Molina claimed that Junts was being blamed, even though the measures of Sumar and Podemos had already been implemented and had had, according to her, disastrous results. She also stated that Pedro Sánchez's goal was to displace that political space and described power in Spain as a combination of government and opposition. Finally, she said she was right to classify the protest as an electoral maneuver against the right, and not as a new 15M. She added that some people had become angry with her for that assessment. #HuelgaGeneral #Protesta #PolíticaEspañola (translated)

Estefania Molina wrote that the session in Congress left her with the impression that many deputies only knew about economics the public salary they received each month. She also stated that they did not even know the law of supply and demand and described the situation as regrettable. #Economía #Congreso #Política (translated)

Estefania Molina stated that much of what was said about Míriam Nogueras went beyond political criticism and that if Nogueras belonged to a different ideology or party, some people would denounce the seriousness of those comments. She added that a decision or measure could be criticized, but she described the other remarks as being of very low quality. #MíriamNogueras #Política #Crítica (translated)

‼️Graph by Jon González. In the eight years of Pedro Sánchez's government, this has been the evolution of housing versus salaries. Today, a series of measures are urgently presented, as if the problem had not been worsening for a decade. That, and similar regulations often have counterproductive effects (make the vulnerable unrentable, destroy housing supply, create legal insecurity, etc.). But it seems that no one can question them because we are on the way to elections. To reflect on it. #Vivienda #Salarios #PedroSánchez (translated)

Some became very upset when I said last week that it was not a 15M and that it was against the right. Well, it turns out that yes: it was not a 15M, just an electoral strategy capitalized by the Government, and it is against the right. #Política #Derecha #España (translated)

What is happening in Spain is not a 15-M, but a coordinated strategy of the left to go to the elections of 2027. The objective of PSOE, Podemos, and Sumar is to present themselves in the general elections without bad headlines—such as evictions—and to have an excuse to blame the right, if they govern, for the skyrocketing housing prices. None of this is about solving the rental problem: interventionism has proven to be very detrimental, as it destroys supply. Feijóo will have the true 15-M of housing. A 'fake' 15-M against the right.

"The intervention in the housing market does not lead to a destruction of supply." Wow. The next will be: "Well, it's good and convenient that supply is destroyed, that way they speculate less." https://t.co/Y7dr58y5Si #Vivienda #MercadoInmobiliario #Especulación (translated)

The government has been managing the narrative for 8 years that home ownership was in the hands of "vulture funds," the "rich," and the "powerful." Documentaries have even been made with that focus. Now people are discovering that housing is in the hands of small owners, many of whom – here lies the key – are middle-class families, voters for PSOE and PP, simply due to age. There was a time when people could own 2 properties. All this, even to the point of tacitly acknowledging – in light of the decree – that limiting "speculative buying" to alleged vulture funds (companies created in many cases to manage the ownership of two or three apartments) would be detrimental. A study in the Netherlands concluded that limiting purchases for investors led to an increase in rents: these companies served the purpose of buying and rehabilitating rental stock. The purchase prices did not decrease significantly with the measure, but rental prices increased due to lower market supply because no one was providing it. The narratives are unraveling: PSOE has adopted all the mantras of Podemos as an electoral strategy to absorb that space and maintain more than 100 seats, but reality always ends up knocking at the door. Spain, a country of small owners from a very specific generation: the baby boomers. The rest is rhymes and legends. #Vivienda #Propiedad #PSOE (translated)

Many of the things that are happening, and will happen in Spain, demonstrate why Jon González was uncomfortable: his work was impeccable, necessary, explaining realities about housing, pensions, salaries... He opened people's eyes to why problems are not solved or why some measures are just populism. On the other hand, there are those who only expect to live off the narrative. Jon contributed ideas on how to improve this country. But maybe that was bothersome. #España #Vivienda #Sociedad (translated)

Pedro Sánchez debería ser estudiado en los manuales de Ciencia Política. Acaba de neutralizar a Sumar/Podemos metiendo muchas de sus medidas en un decreto separado para que los partidos a su izquierda se peleen con Junts, y él no ser responsable si no se aprueban. A cambio, sacará un decreto de mínimos, pero un decreto, y podrá culpar a la derecha de no haber logrado sacar el decreto “ambicioso”. Otro nivel. Lo dicho: las plazas siempre han sido lo de menos para los partidos. Esto siempre ha ido para el PSOE de neutralizar a su izquierda —que esperaban arañar algo—, y de vestir el tema contra la derecha. #CienciaPolítica #PedroSánchez #PolíticaEspañola

Si Pedro Sánchez es tan hábil como nos tiene acostumbrados, cogerá y le comprará a Sumar/Podemos buena parte de las medidas del decreto, y dejará que lo tumbe la derecha: “Las derechas han impedido el decreto”. Elecciones 2027. Obviamente, ni el relato ni el propio decreto iban a solucionar nada en el mercado del alquiler. Muchísimo menos aún fomentar expropiaciones, medidas antidesahucios o más limitaciones, que solo van a expulsar oferta y perjudicar a los inquilinos, especialmente a los más vulnerables. Pero es que esta acampada nunca ha ido de solucionar nada: no por los inquilinos y los movilizados, sino por los partidos que la han instrumentalizado, después de llevar 6 años apoyando medidas estériles. Es curioso que a la izquierda del PSOE se proteste porque el problema de la vivienda se agrava si son precisamente muchas de sus medidas las que se están aplicando. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Política

En el primer 15M la gente salía a protestar porque era una tragedia pensar que uno jamás sería propietario de su casa. Hoy mucha gente no puede ni asumir el alquiler de una habitación en el piso de un tercero. Entre medias, los partidos del 15M han entrado a las instituciones. Ahora se presiona para seguir aplicando sus políticas intervencionistas, que han resultado muy lesivas, y en el más inocuo de los casos, simplemente chutan el problema hacia adelante. No es un 15M. Es una estrategia electoral para resucitar un espacio marchito, y en todo caso, solo demuestra para qué han servido los partidos del 15M. #15M #Vivienda #Protestas

No es un 15M. Ha sido la estrategia coordinada para sacar nuevamente un decreto con medidas intervencionistas que llevan 6 años sin funcionar —y que han agravado muchísimo el problema—. El objetivo es ir a elecciones de 2027 sin malos titulares, y tener una coartada para culpar a la derecha cuando gobierne de que el precio de la vivienda esté desbocado. El 15M de la vivienda se lo montarán a Feijóo. #Vivienda #Política #15M
