PoliticsHow could Spain’s housing crisis affect elections? | Inside Story

Frustration over Spain’s housing crisis has fueled mass demonstrations. They began last month after 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal was evicted; she died this week, two weeks after being forced from her home. Parliament rejected government proposals to protect tenants and freeze rents, leading Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to call early elections. He is also under growing pressure over immigration and corruption investigations.
