The Housing Union has issued an ultimatum to the Spanish government ahead of the upcoming Purísima protest, presenting a document that includes eight proposals aimed at tackling the rental crisis and improving access to housing.
Among the key measures proposed are the freezing of contracts signed between 2022 and 2024, the establishment of a reference price to regulate rents, and a commitment to prevent evictions without providing a dignified alternative.
Minister Conxita Marsol has rejected the notion of yielding to threats, stating that some of the proposals cannot be addressed within the current legislative term. She emphasised the importance of collaboration, saying, "I believe we all work for the good of the country, and actions that harm it are not beneficial for anyone."
The union's intention is to reach an agreement with the government and parliamentary groups, establishing a timeline for action. If a pact is not reached, a protest will be organised to block one of the borders during the Purísima holiday.
