Madrid protesters bang pots to demand action on Spain’s housing crisis

Hundreds of demonstrators have gathered outside Madrid's City Hall, banging pots and pans and jangling keys to denounce Spain's housing crisis ahead of a key parliamentary vote on 2 October.

Footage shows people dancing and holding signs reading 'vultures out' as they call on MPs to back measures to tackle soaring rents and evictions.

They say young adults should not have to live with their parents into their thirties and call the situation unacceptable as many cannot start a family or live independently.

Homeowners and tenants argue that temporary fixes are not enough and that people need long‑term security in their homes.
