In Spain, Parliament votes on a text to protect the right to housing, including measures against "vulture" funds

On November 12, the Spanish Parliament approved measures to protect housing rights, following a general strike and massive protests. The legislation includes a suspension of evictions for vulnerable individuals until 2030 and actions against 'vulture' funds. However, a proposal for automatic lease renewals was rejected. The right-wing parties have pledged to repeal these measures if they gain power in the upcoming elections. The issue of housing access is a major concern for Spaniards, especially amid rising inflation. The protests were sparked by the eviction of an elderly woman, highlighting the urgency of the housing crisis.
