Overview

  • The PSOE's proposed housing law, centered on tax incentives for landlords, has been criticized by coalition partners as insufficient and counterproductive.
  • Izquierda Unida has called for expropriating large property holders to expand public housing and greater control over rental prices.
  • Podemos has announced it will vote against the law unless demands such as a 40% rent reduction and stricter regulations on housing sales are included.
  • Sumar and other coalition members argue the proposal prioritizes landlords over tenants and fails to address the urgency of the housing crisis.
  • The lack of consensus within the coalition casts doubt on the proposal's viability, highlighting deep governance challenges as housing remains a central issue.
