Spain’s Parliament recently blocked two major housing decrees, sparking intense frustration both inside and outside the chamber.
- Protesters from the nearby Puerta del Sol encampment gathered outside Congress to demand action against evictions.
- The failed measures aimed to protect vulnerable citizens, such as Maricarmen Abascal, from losing their homes.
- Prime Minister Sánchez sharply criticized the opposition parties—PP, Vox, and Junts—for voting against the legislation.
- Sánchez warned these parties that history will judge their decision far more harshly than they expect.
Ultimately, the defeat of these bills feels like a major setback for families hoping for immediate housing relief.
