The government must settle its housing decree before Tuesday's Council of Ministers meeting. Sumar and Podemos want stronger tenant protections, while Junts and the PNV are demanding changes for landlords and regions.
The Council of Ministers is due to meet on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, but Pedro Sánchez still lacks a settled majority for the housing decree. The dispute has reached Madrid's Puerta del Sol, where tenants are demanding immediate action. The choice is stark: a tougher text that may fail in Congress or a narrower deal that can stay in force.
Talks continued through the weekend, according to ElConfidencial. Neither side has dropped its main demands. Junts and the PNV reject measures they say would hurt small property owners. They also oppose the full programme sought by Sumar and Podemos.
Those parties reject what they call a minimum decree.
