Demonstrators carried banners, chanted and rattled their home keys as some referred to as for a common strike over housing.

The protest got here a day after lawmakers rejected emergency measures aimed toward addressing Spain’s housing affordability disaster.

Public anger has intensified following the eviction of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal from her Madrid residence final month, which sparked protests and an encampment within the capital’s Puerta del Sol.
