Spain's Parliament Rejects Housing Decree as Sánchez Clashes With Opposition

In Spain in October 2026, parliament rejected a government decree on housing, drawing criticism over housing policy. Prime Minister Sánchez directed remarks at the PP, Vox and Junts parties, saying history would judge them sooner and more harshly than they imagine. Polling cited in the headlines indicated that intervention to lower rents is widely favored on the left and also among PP and Vox voters. Sánchez was also described as trailing Trump and as surrounding the Congress.
