A growing movement is questioning whether small landlords are to blame for the skyrocketing cost of housing.
- Two friends, Iria and Laura, have been camping in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol to protest the housing crisis.
- Despite working full-time jobs, they struggle to keep up with rising rent costs.
- Their sign, reading “We’ll be back later. We’re working for our landlord,” highlights the financial pressure facing many young professionals today.
- The protest movement is now turning its attention toward individual property owners and their impact on the rental market.
These protestors hope that by sharing their daily struggle, they can spark a real conversation about housing affordability.
