Demonstrators camp in Madrid square to protest housing crisis | DW News

Tens of thousands demonstrated for more tenant protection in Madrid on Saturday, amid an ongoing housing crisis and outrage over the eviction of an 87-year-old woman last week. Some protesters camped overnight in the city's iconic Puerta del Sol plaza and vowed to stay at least until Tuesday, when Spain's Socialist-led government is expected to announce new measures to tackle the crisis. The decree is believed to include the automatic renewal of rental contracts and further restrictions on evictions, but it's unclear if it'll get approval from parliament where Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez lacks a majority.
