Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez approved emergency housing measures on Tuesday following days of protests in the country. Demonstrators flooded the streets of Madrid, and later Barcelona, after two housing decrees proposed by Spain's central government, aimed at addressing rising housing costs and lack of affordable homes, failed to pass in Parliament. Protesters are calling for a halt to evictions, indefinite tenancy agreements, tighter regulation of seasonal and tourist rentals, and restrictions on property purchases by investment funds, among other measures.
