On Sunday, October 4, 2026, approximately 2,000 people gathered in Salamanca for a demonstration called by the Tenants' Assembly to demand stronger measures against the housing crisis and speculation. The protest in Salamanca forms part of a broader wave of housing demonstrations across Spain.
In the wake of these protests, political reactions have intensified. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has initiated contacts to determine whether to call general elections. Meanwhile, political figures such as Ione Belarra, general secretary of Podemos, have publicly urged the government to reject early elections in favor of an ambitious royal decree law providing concrete solutions to the housing problem, while other parties like the BNG report readiness for a potential general election.
