Following protests over the nation’s housing crisis, which were triggered by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her Madrid home last week, Spain’s coalition government has approved new housing measures.
The plans, which include a prohibition on evictions until 2030, were discussed by ministers on Tuesday. More than five million individuals would benefit from the measures, according to Health Minister Mał García, while opposition leader Míriam Nogueras claimed that “small landlords out in the cold” were left out of the deal.
Although the government intends to hold the vote as soon as this Friday, the plans, presented as two decrees, take effect immediately but must be approved by Congress within a month.
In addition to lacking a majority in parliament, Pedro Sánchez’s leftist coalition administration has struggled to persuade right-leaning parties to accept earlier directives. Right-leaning parties vetoed a decree intended to roll over rental contracts in April.
According to García of the Sumar alliance, additional measures decided upon on Tuesday included prohibiting investment firms from purchasing real estate, tightening regulations on short-term and room rentals, and extending contracts until 2028.
