Spain's Popular Party has rejected the government's housing decrees in blunt terms, with Congress spokeswoman Ester Muñoz warning that the measures will 'destroy the market even more.' Her criticism went beyond the content of the decrees to the negotiation surrounding them, which she dismissed as a 'vodevil,' a vaudeville act staged by the governing coalition and its partners. The decrees would prolong a set of housing measures that the government defends as protections for tenants caught in a market of climbing rents. The PP argues that tools of this kind scare off investors and dry up the rental supply, punishing the very tenants they claim to help. Muñoz framed the haggling in Congress as theater that leaves policy hostage to whichever coalition partner shouts loudest that week. Housing has turned into one of the sharpest fights in Spanish politics, with rents climbing and younger households locked out of buying. The decrees now face their test in parliament, where the vote count will decide whether they survive.
