Madrid housing encampment grows ahead of Spain snap election; activists seek policy shift

Housing activists have established a large encampment of over 1,200 tents in Madrid's Puerta del Sol, leveraging social media to build momentum ahead of Spain's early election. The movement reflects growing public frustration over housing affordability, but its ability to translate protest into concrete policy change remains uncertain. The encampment could influence the electoral debate, though its direct impact on the vote is unclear.
