The **Government of Catalonia** and the **Comuns** party failed to meet a Friday deadline to present a joint text for a bill targeting speculative housing purchases. This delay follows an August report by the Consell de Garanties Estatutàries questioning the legality. The Comuns party will now propose three amendments to address constitutional concerns regarding private property rights. These include distinguishing between small and large owners, ensuring only those with five or more properties face residency obligations. This legislative deadlock threatens the Generalitat Budgets, as **Salvador Illa** and **Jéssica Albiach** previously linked the housing curbs to fiscal approval. The bill still requires support from **ERC**, though no formal agreement has been reached with the party. ## Related news [#AdaColau]() [#FrenteAmplio]() [#HousingCrisis]() #RentControl [#Spain]() 28 October 2026 at 10:54 ## [Colau proposes 10% tax on high-rent properties]() > Frente Amplio's Ada Colau unveils a tax plan targeting large property owners to force rent reductions and increase affordable housing. #DanielFuentes [#SpainEconomy]() [#HousingCrisis]() #GenerationalGap #SpanishHistory 25 October 2026 at 18:56 ## [Daniel Fuentes releases new essay on Spain]() > Professor Daniel Fuentes examines Spain's generational economic shifts and housing crisis in his latest book, 'Nadie elige cuándo nace'.
