The website to request the youth rental bonus in Andalusia "collapses" on the first day

The speed was decisive to be able to benefit from the youth rental voucher of the Junta de Andalucía, whose term opened today at 9:00 a.m., although the website through which applications could be submitted (Veaja) "has been collapsed" in the early hours after receiving a barrage of requests. At this time of the afternoon, the electronic filing system is still down.

The Andalusian Youth Council has denounced the situation, and through social networks has offered to present the complaints of young people to the Board.

These aids, of 250 euros/month for two years and aimed at those under 35 years of age, come from the State (which has allocated 68.4 million euros to this initiative) and are managed by the autonomous communities. The south has been the last place where they have been made available to citizens within a period that expires on February 14 at 3:00 p.m., or when 14,000 applications have been reached.

The system "at times works and at times doesn't, creating uncertainty and tension" among the young people who "have organized themselves to be able to apply today", commented Daniel Valdivia, president of the Andalusian Youth Council, something "unfair" and therefore that "we have requested a change of criteria". In addition, he has advanced, he has asked that the income of each applicant be taken into account, so that "the economic need of each person" is taken into account.

Let us remember that the system, which opened the aid application period today, would be closed provisionally when 14,000 requests had been registered, or it would end definitively on February 14 at 3:00 p.m. The speed in the management was vital to have chances of being in this first pool of applicants.

For his part, the general secretary of the main opposition party, Juan Espadas (PSOE-A), lamented the "botched" aid system, since he criticized the president of the regional government, Juanma Moreno, for advertising "Misleadingly, the youth rental bonus as its own when it is financed one hundred percent by the Government of Spain; 68 million euros that have come to our land to benefit some 11,000 young Andalusians with an aid of 250 euros a month to pay your rent."

"Unfortunately Andalusians have the lowest youth emancipation rate, 85% of young people in our land cannot afford to leave their parents' homes, and the Board has delayed all these months that much-needed help for the moments that we live”, said the Secretary of Organization of the party.

However, the Electronic Window of the Board (Veaja) "has collapsed" after receiving a barrage of 350,000 applications in just 3 hours, "something completely unusual", commented the Minister of Development, Articulation of the Territory and Housing, Marifrán Carazo.

The Minister of Public Works, Articulation of the Territory and Housing, Marifrán Carazo, lamented the incidence before the journalists in Córdoba because she understands that "there is great expectation and that everyone, since the deadline was opened, was waiting for this call and they wanted request them from the first minute".

"We are going to resolve the computer problems throughout the morning and I hope, above all, that they can be resolved very quickly (the requests), since hundreds of thousands are expected," he commented.

The counselor specified that the period calculated by her department to respond to requests is three months, although the collection of the Youth Rental Bonus in Andalusia is retroactive.
