Spain's housing crisis has become a central issue, dividing coalition partners and sparking political debate.

The recent comments by Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez, urging landlords to show solidarity in controlling rent prices, have been met with criticism from Sumar, a coalition partner.

Sumar argues that regulation, not solidarity, is needed to address the issue, as 20% of tenants spend over 40% of their income on housing.

The situation has led to protests and calls for urgent legislative action.

Sumar, along with other progressive allies, is pushing for a special parliamentary session to address what they call a "social emergency.

" Meanwhile, the opposition party, PP, has proposed an alternative housing law, highlighting the urgency and complexity of the housing debate in Spain.
