More than 50 protests are planned across Spain on Saturday as demonstrators call for action over the country’s housing crisis. The protests follow the government’s failure to get emergency legislation through parliament.
The planned demonstrations are expected to take place in locations across Spain, although the supplied information does not specify which cities or groups are organising them. Their central demand is for action to address the housing crisis.
The protests come after the government was unable to secure parliamentary approval for emergency legislation intended to respond to the situation. The source material does not provide details of the proposed measures, the parliamentary vote or the reasons the legislation failed.
The planned events will put further public focus on the government’s handling of housing. The latest known position is that more than 50 demonstrations are scheduled for Saturday, with protesters seeking a response after the legislative setback.
