The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has assured us that the Government will not take "a step backwards" in defending the right to housing, despite the factthat the PP, Vox and Junts reject the decrees approved by the Council of Ministers.

Sánchez has posted a message on the X social network defending the measures contained in the decrees , including curbing speculation, facilitating access to the first home and promoting affordable rents.

The Spanish President has pointed out that the measures aim to curb evictions and has given as an example the case of Macarena, a neighbour of Barcelona.

"The moment of truth has come, the PP, Vox and Junts have to choose: either they are with the social majority or they are with the speculators.

PSOE asks PP, Vox and Junts to explain their vote

In the same vein, the PSOE has proposed a "clear dichotomy" between being "with vulture funds or citizens" and being "with speculators or the social majority."

Socialist sources have pointed out that the PP, Vox and Junts will have to "portray" themselves at an extraordinary plenary session in Congress.

"They willhave to explain why they vote against evictions, the limits of speculation and the protection of vulture funds , "said those sources, who also questioned whether to vote against aid for access to first home and incentives for cheaper rents.

According to the PSOE, the Spanish Government "has listened to the clamour of the streets" and has responded with "bold and concrete measures, the fruit of months of work and negotiation".

"Congress must do it now," the Socialists added.

PSOE's Secretary of Organization, Rebeca Torro, has also used words like, "With vulture funds or citizens, with speculators or with the social majority, let everyone see which side they are on tomorrow."
