About 500 tents have been set up in central Madrid to protest the country's housing crisis. It's from sb.by.
People began to set up tents on September 26 after a demonstration in the Spanish capital. The rally was organized after the eviction of an elderly woman who had to leave her rental home after 70 years of living in it. The protesters also demanded effective measures to contain the housing crisis. Then it turned out that the woman will still be able to return to her home after reaching an agreement with the company that owns it. Following Madrid, similar actions were held in other cities of the country.
Access to housing in Spain has become increasingly difficult in recent years amid rising prices. According to RTVE, buying a house is about 35% more expensive than before the pandemic, and rents have increased by 43%. This is due, among other things, to the shortage of housing relative to the number of new households.
