Summary
The article reports on Sumar's efforts to push through an extension of rental contracts before summer, following a parliamentary defeat two months ago where right-wing parties (PP, Vox, Junts, and UPN with PNV abstention) blocked the automatic extension of over one million rental contracts inherited from the pandemic. This left 2.5 million people at risk of eviction or facing unregulated rent increases. Now, Sumar has managed to get both coalition government partners to adopt the measure within a broader decree that also includes regulation of seasonal rentals and other legislative promises.
