Spain is set for fresh protests over housing after parliament rejects two government measures aimed at strengthening protections for tenants. Protests are scheduled for Saturday in Madrid and other Spanish cities, according to multiple outlets.
The rejected measures include provisions related to rental contract renewals and limits on evictions affecting vulnerable tenants. One report specifies that the package would have provided for the automatic renewal of rental contracts when they expire, alongside restrictions intended to curb evictions of at-risk renters.
Outlets describe the same parliamentary outcome and the same general timing for demonstrations, with emphasis varying slightly. Some sources frame the developments primarily around the upcoming demonstrations, while others focus more on the specific content of the defeated tenant protection package. Overall, the reports align that the rejection occurs on October 2 and that protest activity follows the day after.
