  "account": "A 87-year-old resident, Maricarmen, was evicted this week by the company Urbagestión, reigniting public and political pressure to advance a new housing decree being negotiated by the government with its coalition partners, with hopes of presenting it to the Council of Ministers on Tuesday. Amidst a range of measures extending beyond the eviction crisis, informed sources familiar with the talks among parliamentary allies disclose that the Executive is considering establishing a mechanism to curb rent increases for leases signed before 2023, which are still linked to the consumer price index (IPC). For contracts signed after this date, on the other hand, a different indicator will apply, resulting in more moderate and stable rent hikes. The policy tools being negotiated by the parties, the technical specifics of which have not yet been defined, would allow the imposition of this ceiling if prices soar.",
