The union (along with 40 other organizations) also organized the demonstration that in mid -October had a great impact on the city of Madrid. On that occasion the reason for the protest was the rental situation in the Spanish capital and the “Congress rejection to admit to process its proposal for temporary rental regulation”
More than 12,000 people, according to the data of the Government Delegation in Madrid, met in Madrid to request the resignation of Isabel Rodríguez (Minister of Housing), criticizing the inaction of the Executive and requesting the decrease of 50% of the price of the price of Rentals
Rental strike
In fact, this request to reduce the rental price in half was the requirement filed by the tenant union to avoid a rental strike, a mechanism with which the organization has already threatened the landlords several times.
The spokeswoman of the union in Catalonia, Mayte Arcarazo, warned him in an appearance in the Congress of Deputies in which he asked prohibit the purchase of housing if not for residential use, convert rentals into indefinite and use empty housing to rent.
