Spain’s government approves new urgent housing measures after a night of unrest in Barcelona
The decrees would extend eviction protections, cap rents and curb speculative purchases as the government seeks support from a 69-member interim legislature.
- On Tuesday, Spain's government approved urgent housing decrees after Parliament rejected them last Friday, sending the measures to a 69-member interim legislature known as the 'permanent commission' for ratification until November 29 elections.
- An eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid sparked nationwide protests, as rising housing costs and shortages price many Spaniards out of the market despite strong economic growth in Europe's fourth-largest economy.
- Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez confirmed the measures extend eviction protections until 2030, regulate room rentals, tax seasonal rentals, ban speculative purchases and provide landlord tax breaks; Monday's Barcelona march turned violent when hundreds of activists clashed with riot police, throwing stones and setting fires.
- Political science professor Alejandro Quiroga at Madrid's Complutense University told The Associated Press the constitutional maneuver was politically necessary, stating 'I don't think Sánchez had an alternative' given his November 29 election focus on housing.
- Protesters continue demanding stronger tenant protections, fraud measures and eviction bans, while these temporary decrees remain in effect until a newly elected Parliament convenes after the November 29 snap election.
