Spanish government approves emergency housing decrees after parliament rejected similar legislation
Spain's government under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez approved two emergency housing decrees on October 6, 2026, including eviction protections, rent regulation, and limits on property speculation. The decrees were approved after parliament rejected similar housing reforms on October 2, prompting Sánchez to call snap elections for November 29. The measures will be sent to a caretaker legislative body of 69 parliament members for ratification after parliament was dissolved.
