> Tens of thousands protested in Madrid and other Spanish cities after parliament rejected government measures intended to ease the housing crisis, including eviction and rental regulations. Authorities estimated 70,000 participants, while organisers claimed 500,000. Most demonstrations were peaceful, though clashes with police occurred in Valencia.
