Protesters blame 'vulture funds' for Spain's housing crisis
Hundreds of protesters have occupied Madrid's Puerta del Sol, citing a severe housing shortage and rising costs. They blame investment firms, often called 'vulture funds,' for speculating on properties and driving up rents. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has attempted to implement emergency housing reforms to curb speculation. Following the rejection of these measures by Congress, he has called for a snap election to address the growing national crisis.
