Mass protests in Spain after Parliament rejects Sanchez plan
Tens of thousands of citizens took to the streets in cities across Spain, including Madrid, to protest the escalating housing crisis and rising rent prices. Authorities estimated approximately 70,000 participants in Madrid, while organizers claimed the number reached 500,000. Protesters carried banners demanding a general strike and calling for an end to the housing shortage and high living costs, following the case of elderly woman Maricarmen AbASCAL, who was forced to vacate her apartment after her rent was increased by 275%, symbolizing tenants' suffering. The demonstrations came after the Spanish Parliament rejected two government proposals aimed at addressing the crisis, amid an underlying housing deficit of over 700,000 units, according to estimates by the Central Bank.
