西班牙周六爆发规模庞大的抗议活动,数万民众走上马德里和其他城市的街头,要求政府采取措施应对住房危机 1。当局估计有7万人参加抗议,而组织者则宣称参与人数达50万 1。这次抗议的直接导火索是一名87岁老年妇女遭驱逐,该妇女在住了70年的公寓中被要求承担投资基金提出的230%租金上涨 1。
西班牙政府在周五向议会提交了两项住房法令的方案,内容包括禁止驱逐至2030年、规范短期租赁等措施,但遭到反对党的否决 1。保守人民党、极右翼Vox党和加泰罗尼亚独立党Junts投票反对这两项法令 1。这一挫折引发了舆论对政府前景的担忧,西班牙总理桑切斯可能在11月召集提前选举,并将根据周六的抗议规模做出决定 1。
马德里的住房压力持续加剧,一卧室公寓月租现已达到1000欧元,约占首都中位月薪的一半 1。房客工会发言人瓦莱里亚·拉库评价道:"8天的人民力量比8年的进步政府更有成效" 1。不过反对党提出了不同看法,保守人民党议员胡安·布拉沃声称:"住房不是通过法令变得更便宜,而是通过建造更多住房" 1。在瓦伦西亚,警方使用了橡皮子弹和催泪瓦斯驱散抗议者 1。
Massive demonstrations swept across Spain on Saturday, with authorities reporting 70,000 participants while organizers claimed 500,000 people took to the streets in Madrid and other cities to demand government action on an escalating housing crisis 1. The protests were triggered by widespread outrage over the eviction of an 87-year-old woman, María Carmen Avaskal, who faced a 230 percent rent increase demanded by an investment fund after living in her apartment for 70 years 1.
The demonstrations came shortly after the Spanish parliament rejected two government decrees on Friday aimed at addressing the housing emergency 1. The proposed measures included a ban on evictions through 2030 and regulations on short-term rentals, but were defeated by votes from the conservative People's Party, far-right Vox party, and the Catalan independence party Junts 1. In Madrid, the monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment now reaches approximately 1,000 euros, representing roughly half of the capital's median monthly salary 1.
Tensions escalated in Valencia, where police deployed rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse protesters 1. A tenant union spokesperson stated that "eight days of people power achieved more than eight years of the progressive government," reflecting public frustration over the government's housing policies 1. Conservative lawmaker Juan Bravo countered that "housing doesn't become cheaper through decrees, but through building more housing" 1.
