Amidst the escalating housing crisis in Spain, thousands of protesters took to the streets in multiple cities, including Madrid. The demonstrations, organized by housing activists and supported by major labor unions, highlight the severe impact of high housing costs on citizens. Many young people find it increasingly difficult to afford rent or buy homes in a market driven by speculation and high demand. Their frustrations peak as even well-paid professionals struggle to save, illustrated by a young lawyer who spends a large portion of her salary just on rent, limiting her financial independence.
"I'm living with four people and still, I allocate 30 or 40% of my salary to rent. That doesn't allow me to save. That doesn't allow me to do anything."
"Thousands marched in the capital, Madrid, and over 30 other cities in a demonstration organized by housing activists and backed by Spain's main labor unions."
