Spanish Government Housing Decree Defeated in Congressional Vote

Spain’s government has suffered a congressional defeat after lawmakers rejected a housing decree intended to address affordability and supply pressures. The measure reportedly included proposals affecting tenants, landlords, and housing availability, but it failed to secure enough support for approval. The setback could complicate the government’s efforts to respond to rising rents and limited access to homes. Officials may now need to renegotiate the package, introduce revised legislation, or seek support from opposition parties in coming sessions.
