Murcia states that Sánchez's two decrees "do not address the housing shortage and may further reduce the supply"

The Spanish government has approved two housing decrees, scheduled for a vote in the Congress of Deputies this Friday. The measures have elicited varied responses from political figures, highlighting a lack of consensus regarding their potential effectiveness in addressing the nation's housing shortage.

While the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) has confirmed it will vote in favor of the decrees, party leader Oriol Junqueras described the measures as clearly insufficient. Conversely, the Popular Party (PP) and the regional government of Murcia have voiced strong opposition. Critics argue that the decrees fail to address the core issue of housing supply and may inadvertently exacerbate the problem, while also accusing the government of using specific eviction cases for political distraction.
