Spain Bans Evictions Until 2030 Amid Housing Protests
On September 29, 2026, the Spanish government approved a ban on evictions until 2030 and automatic renewal of tenant contracts following nationwide protests. The protests were sparked by the eviction of 87-year-old pensioner Maricarmen Abascal in Madrid. Demonstrators set up around 100 tents in Puerta del Sol, Madrid, demanding political action to address the housing crisis. The Socialist government finalized the deal with far-left coalition partners Sumar.
