The Minister of Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodríguez, defended in the Senate the need to intervene in the housing market to guarantee the right to housing and curb speculation, after being accused by the PP of promoting "communist" policies. She criticized the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for "calling on wealthy foreigners to buy all of Madrid," and stressed that the new State Housing Plan 2026–2030 aims to triple investment to 7 billion euros. Rodríguez urged PP-led regions to prioritize the general interest over partisanship.

From the Popular Party, Senator Paloma Martín argued that price intervention is “harmful and counterproductive,” as it reduces supply and increases prices, according to economists from the European Commission. She accused Rodríguez of imposing an ideological plan that lacks measures to combat illegal occupation, which she claimed has led to increased insecurity in the most vulnerable neighborhoods. Rodríguez, in turn, argued that housing protection must be permanent and that her proposal includes public and affordable housing.

Meanwhile, the Congress Housing Committee approved a PP initiative — supported by Vox and rejected by PSOE and Sumar — to require the minister to appear quarterly and report on the implementation of the Housing Law. The vote ended in a tie but passed thanks to a weighted vote, with 170 votes from PP and Vox. Sumar's spokesperson, Verónica Martínez Barbero, suggested Rodríguez should resign if she is unwilling to adopt bold measures to curb housing prices.

Separately, in a plenary session, the PSOE proposed repopulating “Empty Spain” by promoting teleworking, highlighting that 80% of rural residents now have access to 5G networks. However, parties like ERC and Sumar considered the proposal insufficient and demanded real resources and direct funding for municipalities. The PP criticized the lack of progress on the long-promised rural telework law, accusing the government of wasting four years without tangible results.
