More than 50 protests erupted after opposition lawmakers joined forces to defeat the Socialist-led coalition government's emergency housing legislation and eviction freeze. Demonstrations drew tens of thousands of participants to the streets of Madrid and other cities, culminating in clashes between police and hardcore activists in Barcelona. The government subsequently approved urgent housing measures.Why it mattersPublic outrage intensif
