Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Spain this weekend. They are angry because finding a place to live has become too expensive.
In many cities across the country, protesters gathered to demand change. They say rent prices are rising way too fast. For many regular people, the cost of a home is now more than they can afford to pay.
The protests come right after Spanish lawmakers voted down a bill that would have stopped evictions. Evictions happen when a landlord forces someone out of their home because they cannot pay the rent. Because the lawmakers said no to the new rules, many people are now worried about losing their homes.
Some protesters are even calling for early elections. They feel that the current leaders are not listening to their needs.
Experts and analysts are now debating what to do next. Some say the government needs to build more low-cost housing. Others argue that changing laws about renting is the best way to help.
For now, the people in the streets are clear: they are tired of struggling just to have a roof over their heads. They want the government to treat housing as a basic right, not just a way to make money.
