Sumar wants Congress to revisit two housing decrees that were recently repealed. Aina Vidal blames the opposition and alleges that real-estate interests helped shape Junts' last-minute vote.
On 2 October 2026, Congress rejected both of the government's housing decrees. The first vote ended 178 to 172. The second failed 184 to 166.
Sumar now wants to bring the measures back to the chamber. Aina Vidal said housing remains an emergency and that the defeated decrees offered only minimum protection. She directed her criticism at the right and at Junts, whose seven deputies voted against the measures at the last moment.
The first decree fell with votes from PP, Vox, UPN and Junts. The decree on indefinite rentals met the same opposition. PNV and Coalición Canaria also voted against that text.
On 2 October 2026, the first housing decree was rejected by 178 votes to 172, while the second failed by 184 votes to 166.
Vidal used strong language about the right-wing opposition in an interview with Parlamento on RNE, reported by Europa Press. She also questioned why Junts changed its position after lengthy negotiations. elDiario.es reported that Junts kept its final position secret until the last moment, then voted against the package.
The dispute started before the vote.
Vidal said negotiations with Junts had lasted
