Housing. Spain approves measures that anticipated elections in the country

Spain's government approved the "Maricarmen decree" aimed at controlling rent increases and limiting evictions, following its initial rejection by the right-wing parties. This rejection led to the Prime Minister's resignation and early elections scheduled for November 29. The decree was named after MariCarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman who died after being evicted from her home of over 70 years. The approval came during a parliamentary commission vote, where left-wing parties and the Basque Nationalist Party secured a narrow victory despite opposition from the right.
