On January 22, 2025, the Spanish Congress of Deputies rejected the government's December 2024 decree law that had extended protections for vulnerable groups, including the suspension of evictions for tenants unable to pay rent. This rejection effectively lifts the moratorium on such evictions.
The decree also encompassed other measures, such as prohibiting the disconnection of essential utilities, adjusting pensions, and extending tax deductions for energy-efficient home improvements. With the decree's annulment, these provisions are no longer in effect.
This development marks a significant setback for the government, as the decree was part of a broader strategy to provide economic and social support to vulnerable populations. The decision has sparked concern among social advocates about the potential increase in evictions and the withdrawal of essential protections for at-risk groups.
