Congress has rejected the first decree with housing measures approved by the Government last Tuesday. The measure failed with 172 votes in favor and 178 against. Neither the surprise intervention of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who asked the members of parliament to “think of the people,” nor the appeals of Housing Minister Isabel Rodríguez, reminding Puigdemont's party that 90% of their proposals were included in the decrees, which are now no longer in force, were to any avail. Rodríguez also offered to process them as bills to include “clarifications or technical corrections.”
