The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in Algeciras has announced it will present two crucial motions at the upcoming municipal plenary session, focusing on the urgent need to increase investment in public housing and enhance resources for the local Addiction Treatment Center (CTA).

Regarding housing, the socialist proposal aims to reinforce this fundamental right through new legislation ensuring permanent protection for public housing. They also urge the Junta de Andalucía to raise investment in this sector to at least 1% of the Andalusian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and to implement an ambitious plan for the creation of 100,000 public housing units for affordable rent.
The motion also includes specific measures to facilitate housing access for young people, such as a "Zero Entry Plan" and the creation of a public fund to finance part of the first home purchase without interest, complemented by tax reductions. Furthermore, it proposes declaring areas as 'stressed' where housing costs exceed 30% of income, limiting rental prices, and controlling the proliferation of tourist housing.
The PSOE has also denounced the neglected state of public housing in Algeciras, particularly those on Mónaco Street, criticizing the inaction of both the Junta de Andalucía and the City Council, noting that no public housing has been built in the city in recent years.
The second motion addresses the critical situation of the Addiction Treatment Center, which the party describes as a "total collapse." Socialists warn of extensive waiting lists, which can reach up to two months for a first consultation and six months for psychological care, as well as a drastic reduction in staff, from twelve to just four professionals.

"Behind every treatment, there is a life at stake."

The party demands that the Diputación de Cádiz urgently fill vacancies, especially in psychology, nursing, and administration, to ensure both immediate attention and continuous patient follow-up. It is highlighted that the CTA addresses a wide range of addictions, including drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and new dependencies such as gambling and screens, affecting even minors. The deterioration of this service, they warn, increases the risk of relapse and compromises the effectiveness of treatments.
