What happened
Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Madrid regional government, criticized the central government's housing law, stating it is causing prices to continue soaring and adversely affecting housing sales and rental markets. Ayuso argued that the law is causing enormous damage to the economy and noted that 25,500 evictions occur annually in Spain. She also pointed out that high eviction numbers are occurring in Catalonia and Andalusia.

Why it matters
The conflict centers on the central government's housing decree and its enforcement, which Ayuso claims is undermining the economy. Ayuso accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the central government of failing to build promised homes while introducing an 'absurd' law. The situation is part of a larger worsening housing crisis in Spain.
