Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Oct, 17:54 · Archive

Spain's parliament has rejected emergency government decrees aimed at tackling the housing affordability crisis.

Spain's minority government has suffered a parliamentary defeat after attempting to pass a pair of emergency measures designed to make housing more affordable. The decrees were rejected by parliament amid ongoing mass protests, with a pensioner's eviction having prompted the government's bid to tackle the crisis.

Critics of the measures argued they would tighten the housing market rather than improve affordability. The rejection represents a setback for the government's efforts to address Spain's housing crisis through these particular legislative proposals.
