How to write according to the RAE: housing protests in Spain, writing guidelines

The Fundación del Español Urgente (FundéuRAE), an initiative supported by the Agencia EFE and the Real Academia Española (RAE), has issued a set of linguistic guidelines regarding the terminology used in reporting on recent housing protests in Spain. These recommendations aim to standardize the written coverage of the ongoing social situation in the country.

The guidelines address specific vocabulary, such as the term "fondo buitre" (vulture fund), which the organization advises should be written without quotation marks. Beyond technical terminology, the initiative emphasizes the broader importance of maintaining orthographic accuracy and coherence in professional and public communication, even in contexts prioritizing immediate news coverage.
