> Spain’s left-wing coalition is proposing a ban on evictions until 2030, contract extensions and restrictions on so-called vulture funds as it confronts the housing crisis. The government blames “savage speculation”, while critics say the measures unfairly group small landlords with profit-driven property firms. The eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal sparked protests by more than 10,000 people.
