Isabel Rodríguez said on friday that she understands and shares the demonstration called for sunday in madrid by the tenants union. The housing ministry announced that social security treasury homes will join the public stock through casa 47 and that sales and auctions will be canceled.
Housing minister Isabel Rodríguez made the remarks after a meeting on the 2026-2030 state housing plan. She singled out the Madrid regional government and its president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for failing to freeze rents despite difficulties accessing housing in the region.
The ministry of housing and urban agenda confirmed that social security treasury homes will be added to the public affordable rental stock through the state housing entity casa 47. Both ministries agreed to halt all auctions and sales of these properties.
The announcement came amid protests by the tenants union, including a lock-in at the social security headquarters. The group denounced denied lease extensions and eviction orders in Madrid neighborhoods such as argüelles and lavapiés, and called for an end to these proceedings.
