The Governing Board of the Federation of Municipalities of Madrid (FMM) has approved promoting the future Law for the Impulse and Balanced Development of the Region, aiming to facilitate its implementation and tackle the housing crisis.

The Federation of Municipalities of Madrid (FMM), chaired by Judith Piquet, has greenlit the promotion of the future Law for the Impulse and Balanced Development of the Region, driven by the Government of the Community of Madrid. The objective is to facilitate its application by the town councils and contribute to alleviating the housing crisis.
The FMM advocates for Madrid's municipalities to work towards the LIDER Law being implemented "as soon as possible" and without administrative hurdles. The regulation, pending parliamentary approval, has the backing of the Popular Party in the Assembly of Madrid.
Various initiatives were approved after following regulatory channels, with only proposals facing formal issues being rejected. Members of the Socialist Group expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of debate on motions submitted "at the last minute," receiving explanations about the Federation's operational procedures.
Beyond the LIDER Law, the Governing Board requested increased institutional cooperation and supported migrant integration, warning about the impact of the Central Government's "massive regularization" on municipal services.
Regarding transportation, actions by the Regional Government on Metro line 7B were supported, and the Central Executive was urged for urgent intervention in the Cercanías Renfe network, along with a call for adequate maintenance of state-level transport infrastructure.
Plans were approved to protect student mental health in schools and institutes, alongside the Mayores por Madrid plan. Resolutions were also advanced concerning the digitalization of inter-municipal bodies, support for local commerce, and the promotion of film tourism.
The Federation signed two new agreements: one with the Red Cross, hailed as progress in improving residents' lives, and another with EMPIA to standardize regulations for swimming pool maintenance, aiming to streamline processes for companies and benefit citizens.
The FMM's management during the current legislative term has already surpassed any previous term in its 40-year history in terms of commissions, resolutions, agreements, and conferences, according to the institution.
