Housing Marches Fill Spanish Cities After Rent Laws Fail
On Saturday, large marches over housing spread through Spanish cities including Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, after Congress rejected emergency rent measures on Friday. A Valencia tenants’ group said there was anger in the streets. In Valencia, protesters and police clashed near a property summit. Turnout in Madrid was sharply disputed, with organisers and officials far apart. The votes followed the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal.
