España enfrenta protestas masivas tras rechazar reformas de vivienda

Cientos de miles de manifestantes se congregaron en Madrid y en decenas de ciudades españolas el 23 de septiembre después de que el parlamento rechazara dos proyectos de ley de alquiler de urgencia, exigiendo viviendas asequibles y una mayor protección para los inquilinos. Las protestas, calificadas como las más grandes desde la crisis de vivienda de 2020, aumentaron la presión pública sobre los legisladores. Las manifestaciones siguen a una oleada de descontento que comenzó a principios de septiembre, cuando una inquilina de 87 años fue desalojada de su apartamento de larga duración en el distrito de Retiro, lo que provocó la movilización de miles de personas.

Al Jazeera informó que la empresa propietaria acordó restablecer el alquiler al nivel anterior al conflicto, permitiendo que la inquilina regresara a su hogar. Según NPR, el gabinete anunció posteriormente un paquete de reformas de vivienda destinado a reforzar los derechos de los inquilinos, lo que desencadenó nuevas protestas en todo el país.
