Spain Protests Demand Approval of Housing Measures Amid Eviction Concerns

Analysed 1 Oct 2026·11 sources analysed·Madrid, Spain·Politics
Spain Protests Demand Approval of Housing Measures Amid Eviction ConcernsPreviousNext

Spain's leftist minority government passed two housing decrees, including a ban on evictions of vulnerable tenants until 2030, pending parliamentary approval. Nationwide protests, sparked by the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, have called for stronger measures to address the housing crisis. Activists and tenant unions view the government's steps as a partial victory but insufficient. The fragmented parliament, with opposition from the conservative Popular Party, faces a critical vote on the proposed measures.
