Housing decrees reach Congress without being tied up and Podemos and Junts warn: “Look at the scoreboard”

The government has been negotiating the housing decrees with its investiture partners for weeks. These decrees addressing the critical housing situation were approved at the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, with the intention of submitting them to the Congress on a urgent basis this Friday. The reasons behind this urgency include social and political factors. However, neither of the two decrees is currently tied or guaranteed for approval, according to sources within the executive branch.

Government sources explain that they have taken a gamble, anticipating a difficult explanation if the majority investiture opposes the first text containing measures protecting against evictions until 2030 and assistance for property owners. The defeat of the second decree on the automatic extension of rentals is considered a given by sources from both the government and the partners.

Junts alone has only hinted at advising the government for Friday: "Look at the scoreboard." Neither Podemos nor Junts has clarified their position for now.
