周四，针对西班牙住房危机的抗议活动在马德里持续进行，超过300顶帐篷填满了首都中心的太阳广场。
Protests over Spain's housing crisis continued in Madrid on Thursday, with more than 300 tents filling the capital's central Sol Square.
这些始于9月26日的示威活动得到了左翼和极左翼民间社会团体的支持。
The demonstrations, which began Sept. 26, have been backed by left-wing and far-left civil society groups.
抗议者举行了公开会议，并呼吁成立社区委员会，为住房问题发起总罢工。
Protesters have held public meetings and called for neighborhood committees to be established to campaign for a general strike over housing.
数百名抗议者敲锅打盆，而在巴塞罗那、塞维利亚和拉斯帕尔马斯等城市也有较小规模的示威活动。
Hundreds of protesters banged pots and pans, while smaller groups also demonstrated in cities including Barcelona, Seville and Las Palmas.
抗议活动正值西班牙议会准备就两项旨在解决住房危机的政府法令进行投票之际。反对党人民党和Vox党表示将投票反对这些措施。
The protests come as Spain's parliament prepares to vote on two government decrees aimed at addressing the housing crisis. The opposition People's Party and Vox have said they will vote against the measures.
这些法令能否通过预计取决于来自巴斯克地区和加泰罗尼亚的小党派。
Their passage is expected to depend on smaller parties from the Basque Country and Catalonia.
一项法令将为租赁合同引入自动、无限期的延长，租金涨幅与消费者价格指数挂钩。拒绝延长的房东将不得不补偿租户。该措施预计将被否决。
One decree would introduce automatic, indefinite extensions for rental contracts, with rent increases linked to the consumer price index. Landlords refusing the extensions would have to compensate tenants. The measure is expected to be rejected.
预计将通过的第二项法令将把部分租赁合同延长两年，暂停强制驱逐至2030年，并为季节性租赁和房间租赁引入新规则。它还将防止超过住房价格指数上限的合同涨租。
A second decree, which is expected to pass, would extend some rental contracts by two years, suspend forced evictions until 2030 and introduce new rules for seasonal and room rentals. It would also prevent rent increases in contracts exceeding housing price index limits.
该法令还将禁止某些被称为“秃鹫基金”的高风险投资基金在2028年前购买住房。
The decree would also ban certain high-risk investment funds, described as "vulture funds," from buying homes until 2028.
政府表示，这些措施将惠及约500万人，涵盖189万份租赁合同。住房危机已成为西班牙的一个主要政治议题。
The government said the measures would benefit about 5 million people covered by 1.89 million rental contracts. The housing crisis has become a major political issue in Spain.
上个月，87岁的Mari Carmen被强制驱逐出她居住了70年的马德里住所，这一事件进一步引发了对该问题的关注。
The issue drew further attention last month when 87-year-old Mari Carmen was forcibly evicted from a Madrid home where she had lived for 70 years.
在马德里市政府和一家房地产投资公司达成协议后，预计她将根据一份新的为期八年的租赁合同回家，支付其养老金的30%作为房租。
Following an agreement involving Madrid City Council and a property investment company, she is expected to return home under a new eight-year rental contract, paying 30% of her pension in rent.
