Camps in Spain for housing, live | We can confirm that it will vote in favor of the housing decrees
Minister Rodríguez has "hope" of being able to approve the measures but calls for caution | The BOE publishes the second housing decree with the automatic extension of contracts | The protest in Puerta del Sol enters its sixth day a few hours before the deadline set by Ayuso to request the eviction
Podemos, the political party led by Ione Belarra, has confirmed its support for two government decrees on housing, set to be voted on tomorrow in the Congress. This shift in stance occurred after a meeting with the Union of Women Tenants on Thursday morning. Belarra explained to TVE that while Podemos is "a tool in the hands of the social movement," they must keep in mind that "the fundamental thing is that the mobilization continues."
Minister of Housing, Isabel Rodríguez, expressed hope in securing approval for the decrees, but advised caution. "The text that came out of the Council of Ministers cannot satisfy everyone," she stated in an interview on Cadena SER on Thursday. The second Real Decreto de Vivienda was published today in the Boletín Oficial del Estado, which includes indefinite prolongation and renewal of rental contracts for five years, as well as compensation for tenants if the landlord decides to terminate the contract without a valid reason.
Meanwhile, the Sol squat faces its sixth day, with the Community giving the delegation a deadline to order the eviction.
