The day after a general strike in Spain, where millions of people went on strike to protest high housing costs, the Spanish parliament has voted to pass a housing package.
The adopted proposals extend eviction protections for tenants in economically or socially vulnerable situations. They also freeze some rent increases, regulate companies that buy up properties for speculation and introduce a 10 percent tax on apartments rented to tourists.
How long the new measures will remain in effect is unclear. The conservative opposition Partido Popular has promised to repeal them if it takes power after the new elections on November 29.
