Spain's coalition government is embroiled in a heated debate over a comprehensive fiscal reform, with the focus on addressing the country's pressing housing crisis.
Yolanda Díaz, Spain's Second Vice President, has criticized the majority partner, PSOE, for resisting a full-scale tax overhaul.
The proposed reforms aim to increase tax progressivity, harmonize territorial tax policies, and address housing accessibility and rental prices.
Sumar, a coalition partner, is pushing for significant changes, including higher taxes on large inheritances and wealth, and stricter regulations on tourist properties.
Meanwhile, the housing crisis has become a central issue, with progressive allies like ERC, Podemos, and Bildu demanding immediate government intervention.
The PSOE advocates for a balanced approach, combining public and private sector efforts.
The debate underscores the urgency of reforming Spain's fiscal and housing policies to meet growing public demands.
