Spain Protests Erupt After Congress Rejects Housing Measures

Thousands of protesters are marching across Spain after Congress rejected two government decree-laws aimed at tackling the housing crisis. The measures were introduced following nationwide outrage over the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, who could not afford a rent increase. The government's defeat has raised questions about a possible snap election, though the next general election is not due until next summer.
