The political group Ganar Alcorcón has launched an information campaign in the streets of the town to publicize the option of extending rental contracts, a measure promoted by the Government last month.

This initiative aims to broaden the reach of information among Alcorcón residents, complementing previous dissemination efforts through their website. The main goal is for families whose contracts are due for renewal in the next two years to avoid significant increases in their rental costs.

"We will take advantage of every loophole that arises to defend our neighborhoods from speculation and protect the right to housing."

Miriam Benítez · Spokesperson for Ganar Alcorcón
According to Miriam Benítez, spokesperson for Ganar Alcorcón, this extension could be crucial for hundreds of residents to maintain their current rent, preventing increases of 200 or 300 euros. The group considers this measure a fundamental tool to combat speculation in the housing market.

"It would be something that would bring peace of mind to the thousands of families who are requesting it."

David López · Councillor for Ganar Alcorcón and Deputy Mayor
For his part, David López, councillor for Ganar Alcorcón and deputy mayor, emphasized the importance of this measure and expressed confidence that the Congress of Deputies will support it. Nevertheless, López voiced doubts about the willingness of right-wing parties to defend citizens in this area, reaffirming his party's commitment to fighting for urgent and necessary housing policies for Alcorcón, such as price intervention and the protection of public housing.
