WorldBBCProtesters across Spain demand action over housing crisis
Tens of thousands of Spaniards marched across 50 cities on Saturday demanding rent relief and an end to evictions after the government's emergency housing legislation was defeated in parliament.
More than 50 protests are taking place on Saturday after the government failed to get emergency legislation through parliament.
Massive housing protests erupted across Spain on Saturday after Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's emergency housing legislation was voted down in parliament on Friday.
About 50 marches took place in cities including Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, with Madrid's Tenants' Union claiming 500,000 participants in the capital alone, though government officials put the figure at 70,000.
Sanchez's defeat in parliament has heightened speculation he may call an early general election, with protesters now calling for a general strike over the housing crisis.
