The story so far

  1. Update 239 hours later

    Maricarmen died without returning home. Spain’s housing fight is still unsettled

    Maricarmen Abascal never returned to her longtime Madrid flat. Her death comes as unions set a November 11 strike and Spain publishes replacement housing laws whose precise protections remain unresolved.

    What moved

    • Nationwide 24-hour housing-and-wages strike called; the action remains prospective.
    • Spain’s unchanged general-election date.

  2. Update 1

    An evicted 87-year-old, a failed housing vote, and now a dissolved Spanish parliament

    Royal Decree 806/2026 is in force and Spain votes on 29 November. Pedro Sánchez is betting housing anger can beat a polling deficit, while tenants wait with no replacement protections.

    What moved

    • Decree published in the BOE and takes effect; parties have ten days to register coalitions.
    • General election.

    Still open after this report

    • Whether the left unites behind one slate and candidate.
    • Whether any housing protections are restored before polling day, and whether Maricarmen Abascal returns home.
    • Whether the PP needs Vox, and on what terms.
