Sánchez to present new housing decree on Tuesday

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez urges Parliament to back new housing measures following social unrest and protests at Madrid's Puerta del Sol.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has announced that a new housing decree will be presented to the Council of Ministers this Tuesday. Speaking at an event in Getafe to introduce PSOE candidates for the 2027 elections, he urged Parliament to validate it.

The move follows social unrest highlighted by the case of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, whose eviction sparked protests. Currently, dozens of demonstrators are camping at Madrid's Puerta del Sol, a movement supported by Vice President Yolanda Díaz today.

Tensions remain high within the coalition as Sumar warns of internal protests if the decree lacks ambition. While Sánchez seeks legislative approval, Díaz used a rally in Rivas-Vaciamadrid to align with protesters demanding urgent action on housing rights.
