Outrage among those camped out in Madrid at the possible repeal of the housing decrees

On October 2, campers gathered in Madrid's Puerta del Sol plaza and along Arenal street expressed widespread indignation, rage, and disappointment. The public outcry was sparked by the potential defeat in the Spanish Congress of Deputies of two royal housing decrees that had been approved by the government's Council of Ministers on the preceding Tuesday.

The demonstrations, which marked the sixth night of protests in the Puerta del Sol, highlight severe societal tensions surrounding housing policy in Spain. The threat to the newly approved legislative measures directly fueled the emotional response among the demonstrators camped at the site.
