Regierungskrise: Spaniens Regierung schlittert wegen Wohnungsnot in die Krise
Nach dem Scheitern ihrer Maßnahmen zum Mieterschutz im Parlament steht Spaniens Regierung unter Druck. Was das für die Wohnungsnot und mögliche Neuwahlen bedeutet.
Madrid - Spain's left-leaning minority government has found itself in a serious crisis due to the country's housing crisis. Two decrees aimed at tackling rising rents and evictions failed in parliament due to opposition from conservative and right-wing populist lawmakers. In a roll-call vote, the conservative People's Party (PP), the right-wing populist Vox and the conservative Catalan separatist party Junts voted 'no', along with two additional lawmakers.
The first decree was rejected with 178 no votes out of 350 parliamentarians, while the second decree received 184 no votes. The government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has been struggling to push initiatives through parliament, as Junts, which left its ranks nearly a year ago with seven deputies, has now joined the opposition.
Prime Minister Sánchez himself intervened in the parliamentary debate, urging lawmakers to vote in favor of the decrees to prevent societal damage. Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez defended the measures in parliament, arguing that it was a matter of siding with people or siding with "sky-funds" speculating on housing.
