Julen Bollain wrote that Vox and Ayuso would meet that day with Milei, whom he attributed the elimination of free medications for the elderly. He stated that since his arrival in the presidency, the mortality among those over 65 years old had surpassed the figures from the COVID period and that in 2024, 21,276 people from that age group died more than in 2023. He concluded with an ironic call to vote for the "chainsaw." #Vox #Ayuso #Milei (translated)

Julen Bollain said that he would not criticize Jon Echeverría for his age, for not having finished his degree, or for his contributions. He stated that the position of the PP on pensions was that they are "unsustainable" and claimed that they had already warned about it. https://t.co/akhSe2sLbM #Pensiones #PP #Política (translated)

Julen Bollain responded to Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who had said that we should talk about matters related to food, listing measures to which, according to what he wrote, the PP had voted against in recent years. He included the revaluation of pensions in 2024, the Housing Law, labor reform, extraordinary taxes on banks and large energy companies, the Rider Law, and the tax on large fortunes. He also pointed out the PP's rejection of reducing the workweek to 37.5 hours, reforming unemployment benefits, expanding maternity leave, and protecting vulnerable families from evictions. He added the discounts from the social electricity bond, the prohibition of cutting off basic supplies to vulnerable households, the freeze on self-employed fees included in the social shield, the extraordinary extension of rental contracts, the regulation of seasonal and room rentals, and the restrictions on speculative home purchases by vulture funds. Bollain also stated that the PP had opposed all increases in the minimum wage. He argued that wages, pensions, housing, and labor rights were issues that should be considered when voting on November 29. #DerechosLaborales #Vivienda #Pensiones (translated)

Julen Bollain asked how they could deny having talked about privatizing pensions and claimed that they treated their voters like idiots. He added that Figaredo had said it clearly less than a week before. https://t.co/goXtTRYw82 #Pensiones #Privatización #Política (translated)

Julen Bollain questioned what sacrifice and effort the person he was addressing had made. He stated that he had held political positions since he was 29 years old and had been living off politics for 35 years. He also criticized her for giving lessons on sacrifice to those who got up every morning to earn a living and insulted her. #Política #Trabajo #Sacrificio (translated)

Julen Bollain pointed out that Feijóo had said at a rally that his government would ask for sacrifices. He asked who would have to bear them and questioned whether they would result in cuts to healthcare, education, or pensions. He also asked Feijóo to clarify his proposals. https://t.co/ghtcMFOqrq #Feijóo #Política #Sacrificios (translated)

Julen Bollain stated that the PP would present itself in the campaign as a defender of pensioners but rejected that characterization. He argued that the party had voted against pension increases in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, as well as against their revaluation according to the CPI. He also pointed out that Rajoy's PP raised them by 0.25%. #Pensionistas #Política #PP (translated)

Julen Bollain defended the necessity of voting, stating that, according to him, the lives of people were at stake and that this would prevent a group he referred to disparagingly from governing. https://t.co/N5M1FQezIJ #Elecciones #Voto #Democracia (translated)

Julen Bollain pointed out that Sánchez had been governing for eight years and that evictions were not a recent problem. He also stated that, since January 2025, PP, Vox, and Junts had voted four times against suspending evictions of vulnerable families and that in all those occasions they had voted against. #Desahucios #PolíticaEspañola #JusticiaSocial (translated)

Julen Bollain stated that PP, Vox, and Junts had rejected a series of housing measures in Congress. According to what he wrote, they included stopping evictions of vulnerable people until 2030; automatically renewing rental contracts for periods of 5 or 7 years; regulating seasonal and room rentals; extending contracts for up to 2 years and limiting some rent increases. He also pointed out proposals to stop speculative housing purchases by funds, apply a VAT of 10% on tourist apartments, and establish surcharges on the property tax for empty and tourist homes. He added tax deductions for tenants, incentives for landlords who reduce rents, and interest-free loans of up to 50,000 euros for the purchase of a first home. Bollain also included measures to protect public housing and expand the affordable supply, compensate tenants when the landlord does not renew without legal cause, and maintain special extensions for vulnerable households and tense areas. He concluded that what had happened should be known. #Vivienda #Alquiler #Desahucios (translated)

This is what Junts has voted this legislature: ❌ Workday of 37.5 hours. ❌ Decree for the revaluation of pensions. ❌ Moratorium on evictions for vulnerable families. ❌ Shield against cuts in electricity, water, and gas. ❌ Tax on large energy companies. ❌ And now, the housing decrees. Let it be known. #Junts #Política #Vivienda (translated)

These are the 7 deputies of Junts in Congress. If they ultimately vote against the housing decree, these are the names and surnames of those who will have to respond politically for that vote and its consequences. It is no use hiding behind acronyms. #Junts #Congreso #Vivienda (translated)

Publicly calling out public officials so that they respond politically for their decisions is accountability. And it is at the very essence of democracy. Those who wield public power must answer publicly for how they exercise it. #RendiciónDeCuentas #Democracia #Transparencia (translated)

Well yes, it is time to call for elections. On one hand, a united left around housing. With dialogue, listening, and agreement. On the other hand, a right that has disappeared and has no solutions. The only way to revalidate the government. #Elecciones #Vivienda #Política (translated)

It's miserable that there are people who call lazy those who get up at 7 to work remotely from a tent in Sol or go fulfill their workday and return to continue fighting for decent housing, but consider it legitimate for someone to pocket €12,000 a month without working, simply for having inherited ten apartments. #JusticiaSocial #DerechosHumanos #TrabajoDigno (translated)

Se construyen viviendas públicas con dinero de todos. Luego el PP se las vende a fondos buitre a precio de saldo: 69.000€ de media. Y años después estos las revenden hasta por 600.000€ la vivienda. Esto no es mala gestión. Es un saqueo planificado del patrimonio público. Y tiene responsables con nombre y siglas: el PP. #Vivienda #Corrupción #PatrimonioPúblico

Los contratos de alquiler deberían ser indefinidos por norma, igual que los contratos laborales. En Alemania, de hecho, el alquiler indefinido es la regla. Porque una vivienda no es un hotel del que te puedan echar cada dos años. Porque vivir con estabilidad no debería ser un privilegio. #Alquiler #Vivienda #Estabilidad

“Una sociedad que maltrata así a sus mayores es una sociedad que está enferma” Pedro Alonso, sobre el desahucio de Maricarmen. https://t.co/hOsSIzMibl #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial #Solidaridad

Maricarmen tiene 87 años y lleva 71 viviendo en la misma casa. Además, tiene una discapacidad del 50%. Paga 500 € de alquiler. El actual propietario, un fondo de inversión, le pide 2.650€/mes. Hoy afronta su cuarto intento de desahucio. Y una escritora anónima se ha ofrecido a pagar la diferencia para evitarlo. Si el problema fuera el dinero, estaría resuelto. Pero quieren echarla igualmente. Porque esto nunca ha ido solamente de cobrar un alquiler. Va de echarla a la calle para especular con la vivienda y hacer aún más negocio con ella. Y es que, en el fondo, no es una historia sobre vivienda. Es una historia sobre qué ocurre cuando convertimos la vivienda en un activo financiero y dejamos de tratarla como un hogar. #ViviendaDigna #Desahucios #DerechosHumanos

En el primer año de Trump: – Ha duplicado la riqueza neta de su familia. – Los multimillonarios se han enriquecido en 1,5 billones de dólares. – Sus 20 mayores donantes políticos han ganado 380.000 millones de dólares. Nada es casualidad. El sistema funcionando. #Trump #Riqueza #SistemaEconómico
