Junts rechaza los decretos de vivienda y pone al Gobierno contra las cuerdas

El Ejecutivo ignora la exigencia de retirar las medidas y reta a los independentistas a “retratarse con PP y Vox”

Junts rechaza los decretos de vivienda y pone al Gobierno contra las cuerdas

The Confederation of Women Tenants' Unions, which leads the recent housing social uprising, urged political forces to back the two decrees approved by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, according to a statement. While acknowledging the measures as urgent and unable to overturn decades of policies that turned housing into a business, the Confederation sees them as "an opportunity window."

Consequently, it calls for demonstrations outside all Spanish town halls on Thursday to demand the Congress of Deputies validate both decrees and prohibit any party from betraying public outcry voiced in streets these days. This union's voice amplifies pressure on Podemos, which has yet to reveal its voting stance.
