Spain proposes ban on evictions as ousted 87-year-old accepts offer to return home | ABC NEWS
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Madrid to protest against Spain’s housing crisis and ask for protective measures for tenants, anti-fraud rules, and a ban on evictions without alternative housing.
Spain’s coalition government said it had agreed to proposals including banning evictions until 2030 to address the country’s housing crisis, as the 87-year-old woman whose forced removal triggered the protests considered an offer to return home.
Health Minister Monica Garcia said the ruling Socialists reached an agreement with junior partner Sumar on Tuesday for a set of new measures, including rolling over contracts until 2028 and banning so-called vulture funds from the housing market.
However, the minority government faces an uphill battle to secure support in a fragmented parliament.
