Sumar's Lara Hernández defended the party's boycott tactic at the Council of Ministers, which led to the approval of a housing decree extending rental contracts and capping increases at 2%, published amid the Iran war's energy shock. Junts vowed opposition, calling it harmful to small owners.
Spain's Council of Ministers was delayed over two hours on Friday due to disagreements between PSOE and Sumar on housing measures amid the Iran war energy crisis. Pedro Sánchez negotiated directly with Yolanda Díaz to split the package into two decrees: a main one with tax cuts worth 5 billion euros and another extending rent contracts. Both take effect tomorrow, though the housing decree may fail in Congress.

In the latest move amid Sumar's leadership transition following Yolanda Díaz's withdrawal, the party's executive will propose to its Grupo Coordinador an assembly after the Andalusian elections to renew organs and redefine its identity. The conclave is slated before the end of the political term.
