‘Now is the moment’: housing activists at Madrid encampment pin wary hopes on Spain’s early election

Housing activists in Madrid have set up an encampment in Puerto del Sol square, with over 1,200 tents, expressing their hopes for concrete change in Spain's early election. The camp's growth and public support indicate a groundswell of support for housing rights issues.

Sélpide San Luis, a 26-year-old activist, highlighted the rapid pace of change, stating, 'We built a city in a week.' However, activists remain wary and focused on translating public support into tangible policy changes.
