Housing protests in Spain continued this week, with more than 300 tents filling Madrid's Puerta del Sol square as demonstrators demand action over the country's ongoing housing crisis.
A sustained demonstration
The encampment reflects a sustained push by protesters calling for stronger government intervention to address rising housing costs and limited availability, concerns that have been building across Spain in recent months.
The protests come as parliament prepares to vote on measures related to the issue, putting pressure on lawmakers to respond to demonstrators' demands.
What's next
The outcome of the parliamentary vote is expected to shape the government's next steps on housing policy, with protesters indicating they intend to maintain their presence in Sol Square as the process moves forward.
Housing affordability has become an increasingly prominent political issue in Spain, and the coming vote is likely to be closely watched by both supporters and critics of the government's approach.
