Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Madrid to demand lower rental prices and the right to affordable housing.

The protest, organized under the slogan 'Housing is a right, not a business,' saw participation from various associations, left-wing political parties, and civil society groups.

Protesters highlighted the urgent need for government intervention to curb housing speculation and ensure access to housing, especially for young people and migrants.

Many shared personal stories of facing eviction, discrimination, and the struggle to afford rent, emphasizing that housing has become a commodity rather than a constitutional right.

The demonstration aims to pressure the government into implementing policies that prioritize social housing and protect tenants from exploitative practices.
