The housing protest leaves Sol and reaches Congress
The protesters camped in Sol have taken their protest to Congress to demand the ratification of the two housing decrees during the parliamentary debate.
Dozens of participants in the Puerta del Sol camp moved this Friday, 2 October, to the area around the Congress to demand the ratification of the two housing decrees approved this week by the Government. The demonstration, organised by the Sindicato de Inquilinas e Inquilinos de Madrid, coincides with the parliamentary debate.
In response to the arrival of the protesters, the Policía Nacional increased security and set up barriers at the entrances to the Chamber. Police presence was also stepped up on the Carrera de San Jerónimo, which connects the Congress with Sol, where the camp continues.
The protest aims to put pressure on MPs to support the measures. PP, Vox y Junts have announced they will vote against, so the Government faces the vote without the necessary support to pass both decrees.
