Today, demonstrations spread throughout Spain - more than 400 thousand people are on the streets of Barcelona alone.
Spanish cities are on their first nationwide strike since 2012 due to the housing crisis and rising rental prices.
According to the Central Bank, Spain lacks about 750,000 housing units. The average rental price is already 1,176 euros per month - almost 99% of the average salary of young Spaniards.
Barricades were set up in Barcelona, and clashes with the police took place in Madrid. 27 people were arrested there.
And on November 29, early elections will be held in Spain, which Sánchez announced precisely because of the housing crisis, which was exacerbated by the September 2026 eviction of 87-year-old Madrid resident Rickman Abescal, who had lived in her apartment for more than 70 years.
