Spanish protests after housing rejection

Currently, Spain is experiencing widespread protests due to the ongoing housing crisis that has worsened over the years. The Spanish Parliament rejected the measures proposed by the government to address it, leading to escalated demonstrations in cities such as Madrid, where hundreds of thousands participated, according to organizers—though authorities reported about 70,000. The rejected measures included strengthening tenants' rights, such as automatic lease renewals and imposing restrictions on evictions of low-income tenants. These proposals were not approved, resulting in a significant rise in housing costs, with average rents nearly doubling over the past decade and home prices increasing by about 90%. The crisis began after an elderly woman was evicted from her home, where she had lived for 70 years, sparking protests and sit-ins. The movement calls for reforms that ensure the right to decent housing and stability for citizens, with broad support among protesters for affordable housing.
