Spain: mass housing protests in Madrid, camp set up in Puerta del Sol

Thousands protested in Madrid against the housing crisis, demanding tenant protections, anti-fraud rules, and a ban on evictions without alternative housing. Some demonstrators have begun camping in Puerta del Sol, with about twenty tents and more arriving. The protest reflects a broader affordability crisis driven by inflation and housing shortages, with the Bank of Spain noting a shortfall in supply.
