Spain's government has approved protection against evictions that will stay in force until 2030, along with an extension of rental contracts running through 2028. The measures travel in a second decree law that the executive has put forward. At the heart of the package sits the automatic renewal of leases, a long-running demand from left-wing parties. That request still lacks a parliamentary majority, which is what pushed the government down the decree route. Both texts are scheduled for a vote on Friday. Friday's outcome will show whether the renewal clause survives contact with the chamber.
