Briefings

The Spanish government approved housing measures on October 6, 2026, bypassing the dissolved parliament and submitting them to a permanent commission instead. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez defended the move as a matter of humanity, noting the measures include rent access, price controls, and a €10 million loan line for first homes. This action occurred after the government faced repeated rejection by the opposition coalition, with the commission comprising 69 deputies from various parties.

Key points

• The Spanish government approved 21 housing measures on October 6, 2026, bypassing the dissolved parliament and submitting them to a permanent commission instead.
• The permanent commission consists of 69 deputies from various parties, including 27 from the PP, 24 from PSOE, plus representatives from Vox, Sumar, EH Bildu, PNV, Junts, and ERC.

Context

The measures were originally rejected by the opposition coalition (PP, Vox, JxCat) after a prolonged negotiation period, prompting the government to accelerate the process. The permanent commission is designed to ensure the measures are passed despite the lack of parliamentary majority, though social media indicates uncertainty about the necessity of this vote.
