An elderly resident’s eviction in Madrid has been linked to the decision to hold an early general election, following the defeat of a series of measures intended to address the housing crisis.
The measures were rejected in parliament on Friday. Their defeat has placed the housing issue at the centre of the political developments surrounding the election.
The supplied account does not identify the resident, explain the circumstances of the eviction or provide details of the proposals that were put to parliament. It also does not name the political groups involved or state when the early general election will take place.
The latest known position is that the housing measures have failed to pass, while the eviction and the wider housing crisis have become connected to the move towards an early national vote.
