Much easier to beg for votes saying we "fined these evil landlords" instead of saying increasing taxes on empty buildings. I think there will be many fires in Barcelona this year.

If the tax %age on the empty buildings is high enough, voters will like it.

I fear it won’t be big enough so they didn’t say it, but I don’t know Spanish culture.
