An owner of five apartments: “No communist is going to tell me what to do with my home”
UOne of the big problems that, without a doubt, worries practically all Spaniards, is housing. During these last years There has been an increase in rental prices that has already reached a point that seems unsustainable for many tenants.
Not only for those who already live in a rental home, but also for people who want to do so, since due to the high value they do not have access to it, or it seems practically impossible. This led the Tenants Union to hold a large demonstration in the heart of Madrid to protest this situation that is devastating society.
In the program ‘La Sexta Xplica’, presented by journalist José Yelamo, they always have many people on the set. This is done with the aim of representing a large part of society. From businessmen, to tenants. In addition, there are also some experts to give their opinion on the subject.
The real estate investor, Javier Medina, in the face of the fervent debate over housing, raised his voice against people who want housing to be more accessible, and assured that he will do what he wants with his home, such as leaving it empty or “renting to the tenant that best suits me.”

Furthermore, he pointed directly to one of the most active unions in this social battle: “I have been self-employed since I was 18, 12 years raising the blinds of my business from Monday to Sunday and I am not going to tolerate the Tenants’ Union, nor Dora the Expropriator, nor any communist coming to tell me what I have to do with my home “.
Likewise, Medina also recalled all the taxes that owners pay to the State, and criticized their destination: “That volume of taxes paid by the real estate investor is not enough to be calm with the State, with all the powers to supposedly pay for these hospitals, roads and schools, which we know is not there.”
