The Hindu - International · world

Spanish lawmakers have rejected a key government measure aimed at addressing the nation's housing crisis. The vote, which saw 178 against and 172 in favour, dealt a significant political blow to Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Hundreds of protesters outside Parliament reacted with shouts of "shame!" following the decision. This rejection marks the first of two government decrees designed to tackle housing issues and protect vulnerable tenants from eviction until 2030.
