Hundreds of protesters have pitched tents in central Madrid in a demonstration over Spain’s housing crisis, accusing so-called “vulture funds” of contributing to the problems facing the country’s housing market.
The protest is taking place in the Spanish capital as the country prepares for a snap election called by the prime minister. The timing places housing among the issues being raised during a period of political uncertainty.
Protesters have focused their criticism on investment groups described as “vulture funds”, blaming them for worsening the housing crisis. The supplied information does not specify which organisations are being targeted or set out the particular actions they are accused of taking.
The tents in central Madrid represent the scale of the demonstration, with hundreds of people involved. No further details have been provided about the organisers, the length of the protest or any response from the Spanish government.
