Spain's Housing Package Loses Its Parliamentary Vote

Spain's minority government was defeated in parliament as it tried to push through a pair of emergency measures aimed at making housing more affordable, Deutsche Welle reports. The attempt followed a pensioner's eviction and protests.

The order of events is the substance here: an eviction, street pressure, a legislative attempt, a lost vote. When a housing package is brought forward and then fails, the question of who gets to act next shifts away from the chamber.
