The PSOE is seeking an agreement in extremis to intervene in the housing market

The Spanish Ministry of Housing is set to present a decree to the Council of Ministers that aims to intervene in the residential market. The decree, dubbed the "Maricarmen decree", includes measures such as extending rental agreements, limiting the purchase of housing by investment funds, and increasing taxation on tourist apartments.

The government's negotiations with its coalition partners have been ongoing, with some parties, including Sumar, threatening not to support the decree unless their proposals are included. The decree's approval is uncertain, with opposition from the PP and some coalition partners, while others, such as Podemos, have expressed support for certain measures.
