Barcelona had over 113,000 homes for rent in 2018. Now, under Sánchez’s laws, it has 19,700

2025 closed with just over 510,000 rental listings in Spain, representing a drastic drop compared to the more than 902,660 available in 2018. During Sánchez’s two terms in office, Spain has lost nearly 400,000 rental properties, dropping from over 902,660 listings in 2018 to just over 510,000 in 2025. These figures stem from the latest Idealista study, to which EL MUNDO has gained exclusive access. And no region illustrates this…

Unions now announce a general strike: Against the next government? Against the opposition?

14 years later, with Parliament dissolved and the call for elections on November 29 on the table, the communist-affiliated Comisiones Obreras (CC.OO.) and the socialist-affiliated Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT) have announced a 24-hour general strike this autumn to “demand decent wages to access decent housing.” It is the first general strike they have called during the “Sánchez era,” and they are doing so on the exact same day that…

Spain: General elections on November 29

On November 29, Spain will vote in a general election. This is the announcement made today by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who last Friday suffered two new and severe defeats in Parliament that proved he has never enjoyed a parliamentary majority during this term, which comes to an end without having presented a single budget. “We need a much broader majority,” explained Sánchez, certifying yet another lie, given that he…

Sánchez realizes, three years later, that he lost the election

On Friday, October 2, Spain experienced yet another of those surreal episodes in which Pedro Sánchez’s government has specialized. After being in government since 2018, promising in 2023 the construction of 183,000 social housing units—which were never seen—and following more than 280,000 evictions and a Housing Law that, as experts warned, has led to a reduction of over 30% in the supply of rental apartments and further exacerbated the problem……

Spain launches the new European savings and investment account

Today, the Official State Gazette (BOE) published the creation of the new European savings and investment account, “Financia Europa,” which allows users to buy and sell shares and investment funds within a “tax shield” without paying taxes on every transaction. It functions as if each citizen could hold a private investment fund, albeit primarily restricted to investments in European assets. Each individual may hold only one account. Contributions are made…

Government caps rents at 2% as inflation approaches 5% and allows tenants to stay for up to ten years

Government has approved a rent reform that caps rent increases at 2% in an effort to control prices. This comes on the same day it was revealed that inflation is approaching 5% due to the “change in economic scenario” caused by rising fuel costs across the economy. On one hand, prices are skyrocketing well beyond expectations; on the other, rent controls penalize around 1.3 million small landlords, who will have…

Inflation in Spain surges to 4.9% in September

The advance indicator of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the INE sets annual inflation at 4.9% in September, six-tenths higher than in August. Core inflation—which excludes energy and unprocessed food—also increases to 3.1%, confirming that the price rise is structural and affects the daily shopping basket. The HICP, the index comparable at the European level, reaches 5.0%. According to the INE, this surge is mainly explained by the…

Vice President Díaz Calls for Mobilization Against the Government

Do you have a problem with a camp? Well, you set up another one, and that way you have two, successfully distracting everyone—a perfect diversion tactic. Until yesterday, Spain was focused on one camp: the one Moroccans set up on the beaches of Ceuta, a camp that embarrasses the government, which admitted to having suffered an “invasion.” Since yesterday, however, another camp has been dominating Spanish news. Dozens of people…

Former President Zapatero admits he committed crimes while in office

The Socialist leader has informed the judge investigating the Plus Ultra case that the jewelry found by police in his office safe—and valued at 1.3 million euros—was a “strictly personal gift” from the late King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, allegedly given during his official visit to Spain in 2007. If this version is accepted as true, accepting those jewels could constitute an offense of passive improper bribery and,…
