The mobilization for the right to housing this Friday transfers the pressure from Puerta del Sol to the Congress of Deputies.
The Madrid Tenants Union has called for a march from the Madrid square to the Lower House, coinciding with the day in which the deputies will debate and vote on the validation of the two housing decrees approved this week by the Government. The plenary session is scheduled to start at 11:00 am and 20 minutes will tell you, live, everything that is happening today tomorrow.
The protest continues the camp established in Sol since last Saturday, promoted after the eviction of Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman whose case has fueled the mobilizations against evictions and difficulties in accessing housing. Protesters demand urgent measures to protect tenants and keep their demands on the political agenda.
The two texts put to the vote include different measures on rentals and protection against evictions. The first includes an extraordinary extension of up to two years for certain contracts and extends the protection of vulnerable groups without a housing alternative until 2030. The second modifies the conditions for renewal of rentals and contemplates compensation when the owner decides not to renew them without justified cause.
The day is marked by parliamentary uncertainty. Junts has announced its rejection of both decrees and has asked the Government to withdraw them, which puts their validation at risk. While the debate develops, the mobilized groups seek to maintain pressure on the streets so that the measures go ahead.
In this information you will be able to follow the live video signals, the evolution of the protests at Puerta del Sol and the march towards Congress, in addition to the main news of the debate and the vote.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Congress will debate and vote on the validation of the two housing decrees
Very likely · Within hours

Hundreds of people march from Puerta del Sol towards Congress in Madrid to demand the approval of the housing decrees, while the Lower House votes on the proposals.

Those close to Pedro Sánchez consider an early election in November likely, conditioned by the citizen reaction, after Junts' rejection of the housing decrees and the imminent return of Carles Puigdemont to Spain.
Pedro Sánchez faces the possible call of early elections, possibly on November 29, after Junts confirmed its vote against the housing decrees and in the face of strong social mobilization on the left.

Junts will deliver to the Government its own proposal for a royal decree on housing to serve as a starting point, trying to distance itself from criticism after announcing its vote against the Executive decrees in Congress.

The PP will vote against the two housing decrees approved this week by the Council of Ministers, calling them 'botched' that generate legal uncertainty. The party proposes to build three million homes by 2040, including affordable social housing, and warns of a possible increase in lawsuits, squatting and a reduction in rental supply due to the contradiction between the decrees.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia will visit Ceuta and Melilla on October 13 and 14, marking the first visit by a Spanish head of state in 20 years to the autonomous cities. The trip occurs after years of tension between the Royal Family and the Government due to the Executive's refusal to authorize the visit, despite the wish expressed by Felipe VI since his proclamation in 2014. The visit is framed in a context of concern for security after the attempted mass entry of migrants through Tarajal in July, and seeks to reinforce the symbol of national unity. President Pedro Sánchez will not accompany the Kings, according to Moncloa sources, due to his habit of not attending the King's national trips, although there is speculation about a personal decision to avoid public scrutiny.
