西班牙议会在激烈辩论后否决了两项紧急住房法令。这一挫败加大了对佩德罗·桑切斯的压力，租房者走上街头抗议，提前大选的呼声日增。
Spain's Parliament rejected two emergency housing decrees after a bruising debate. The defeat deepened pressure on Pedro Sánchez as renters protested and election talk grew.
西班牙进步政府周五遭遇重大挫折，议员们否决了两项旨在解决该国住房负担危机的紧急法令。当时抗议者聚集在议会外要求帮助租房者，西班牙媒体推测，首相桑切斯可能会考虑提前大选，而不是等到明年。其办公室未立即回应美联社关于提前大选可能性的提问。
Spain's progressive government suffered a major setback on Friday after lawmakers rejected two emergency decrees aimed at addressing the country's housing affordability crisis. The defeat came as protesters gathered outside Parliament to demand help for renters, and Spanish media speculated that Prime Minister Pedro Snchez could consider calling an early election instead of waiting until next year. His office did not immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press on the possibility of a snap poll.
经过五小时辩论，桑切斯向349名议员发出最后呼吁，支持这些措施，称其“必要”。“这些法令背后的初衷，是要在一个如果我们不加以遏制就会毁灭我们社会的市场中，注入秩序与人性。”他说。他以警告结束发言：“做正确的事，否则历史将审判你们，而且比你们想象的要快。”呼吁未能奏效，加泰罗尼亚分离主义政党“团结党”投了反对票，与中右翼的人民党和极右翼的“呼声党”站在了一起。
After a five-hour debate, Snchez made a final appeal to the 349-member chamber to back the measures, calling them "necessary". "What is behind these decrees is the desire to instill order and a sense of humanity in a market that if we do not rein it in will destroy our society," he said. He ended with a warning: "Do the right thing, or history will judge you, and sooner than you think." The appeal failed, as the Catalan separatist party Junts voted against both decrees, joining the centre-right Popular Party and the far-right Vox. The first rejected decree included measures that the government said would stop evictions of vulnerable people, make real estate speculation harder and offer tax incentives to encourage renting. The second sought to make residential leases automatically renewable by tenants. The votes were loudly jeered by protesters nearby, while people in the public gallery shouted, "Vulture funds govern the congress!"
第一项被拒绝的法令包括政府表示将停止驱逐弱势群体、加大房地产投机力度并提供税收激励以鼓励租房的措施。第二个法案旨在让租户自动续订住宅租约。选票遭到附近抗议者的大声嘲笑，而公众旁听席上的人们则高呼：“秃鹫基金统治着国会！“这些法令旨在平息上周87岁的马里卡门·阿瓦斯卡尔在马德里被电视驱逐后公众的愤怒。驱逐引发了抗议活动和该市主要广场的露营活动，自那时以来一直在继续。议会外，示威者举着自制的标牌，上面有秃鹫，指责房地产投机者推高了住房成本。34岁的办公室职员、抗议者卡拉·克雷蒙特（Carla Cremonte）表示，右翼政党联合起来“投票反对这里大多数人和西班牙工人的利益”。她补充说，“我不知道会发生什么，是否会举行选举，但我们将在街上继续战斗，气氛就像是总罢工一样。“租房者协会Sindicato de Inquilinas表示，将在周六召集新的抗议活动，并推动总罢工。
The decrees were meant to calm public anger after the televised eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal in Madrid last week. The eviction sparked protests and a camp-in at the city's main square that has continued since then. Outside Parliament, demonstrators held homemade signs showing vultures, accusing property speculators of pushing up housing costs. Protester Carla Cremonte, a 34-year-old office worker, said right-wing parties had united to "vote against the interests of the majority of people who are here, of the workers of Spain". She added, "I don't know what might happen, whether elections will be called, but in the streets we will continue fighting and the atmosphere is one of a general strike." The renters' association Sindicato de Inquilinas said it was calling fresh protests on Saturday and pushing for a general strike.
西班牙的住房成本急剧上升。据房地产网站Idealista称，过去10年平均租金几乎翻了一番，每平方米平均价格从2016年的8.20欧元上涨至今年的15.1欧元。Abascal已成为一个许多人买不起房子并且受到小型租赁市场挤压的国家为降低住房成本而奋斗的象征。驱逐她的公司后来在公众和政治压力下改变了做法，并表示她可以返回公寓。阿巴斯卡尔被担架抬出家后正在医院，但她的律师表示，她很高兴知道自己会回去。
Housing costs have risen sharply in Spain. According to property website Idealista, the average rent has almost doubled over the past 10 years, with the average price per square metre rising from 8.20 euros in 2016 to 15.1 euros this year. Abascal has become a symbol of the struggle for lower housing costs in a country where many people cannot afford to buy a home and are being squeezed by a small rental market. The company that evicted her later reversed course under public and political pressure and said she could return to the flat. Abascal is in hospital after being removed from her home on a stretcher, but her lawyer said she was happy to know she would be going back.
这次投票也暴露了政府脆弱的联盟。Junts是桑切斯在2023年组建新政府所依赖的较小政党之一，但它仍然是一个难以相处的合作伙伴。其领导人卡莱斯·普伊格德蒙特（Carles Puigdemont）在领导加泰罗尼亚2017年独立运动失败后离开西班牙后一直居住在比利时。住房部长伊莎贝尔·罗德里格斯（Isabel Rodrguez）直接向Junts发出呼吁，她在讲台上表示，“采纳了你们90%的提案。投票支持这些法令或至少弃权。“但Junts领导人Mriam Nogueras表示，这些法令将促使业主从租赁市场撤出房屋，并推高价格。“这些法令仍然允许投机者购买房产并驱逐人们，”她说。荣茨要求政府就修正案进行谈判，但政府拒绝了。
The vote also exposed the government's fragile alliances. Junts is one of the smaller parties Snchez relied on to form a new government in 2023, but it has remained a difficult partner. Its leader, Carles Puigdemont, has been living in Belgium since leaving Spain after leading Catalonia's failed 2017 independence push. Housing Minister Isabel Rodrguez appealed directly to Junts, saying from the lectern, "incorporated 90% of your proposals. Vote for the decrees or at least abstain." But Junts leader Mriam Nogueras said the decrees would prompt owners to withdraw homes from the rental market and push prices even higher. "These decrees still allow speculators to buy property and to evict people," she said. Junts asked the government to negotiate amendments, but the government refused.
中右翼巴斯克党和加那利联盟政府也需要他们的支持，他们在支持第一项法令后投票反对第二项法令。两人都表示，政府采取行动过于仓促，使用法令，而不是通过立法与其他政党建立支持。人民党领袖胡安·布拉沃告诉罗德里格斯：“这并不是我们所有人的失败。这是你的失败，也是桑切斯整个政府的失败。“由于这些措施失败，目前尚不清楚政府是否会再次尝试新的立法或走向选举。使用PTI输入
The centre-right Basque party and Coalición Canaria, whose backing the government also needed, voted against the second decree after supporting the first. Both said the government had acted too hastily by using decrees instead of building support through legislation with other parties. Popular Party leader Juan Bravo told Rodrguez, "This is not a failure of all of us. This is your failure and that of Snchez's entire government." With the measures defeated, it remains unclear whether the government will try again with fresh legislation or move towards an election. With PTI Inputs
