The housing crisis is not new and is getting worse every day: rents continue to rise, reaching increases of more than 10% per year in some cities. Furthermore, if nothing changes, the majority of tenants will devote their salary to rent for life: 70% do not plan to inherit a house. Meanwhile, real estate agencies, investment funds and scaremongering companies continue to speculate on our right to decent housing and wave the flag of squatting, a declining problem that affects just 0.06% of people. housing.
A few days after the October 13 demonstration called by the tenants’ unions of Madrid, we return with a special program on housing in which we will listen to tenants, activists, politicians, families who are going to be evicted and even real estate agents .

We will take an X-ray of the situation in Spain and we will take this path of obstacles which is finding a roof at the moment. Our guide will be Paz Galianathe companion of Carne Cruda whom they have been trying to kick out of her home for months. We will analyze your case with Victor Palomolawyer of the CAES cooperative, and with Valerie Racuactivist from the Madrid Tenants Union, who will explain to us how to resist the abuses of landlords.
With Jaime Palomeraresearcher at the Idra cooperative, we will analyze who or who is preventing so many people from accessing housing and we will delve into the hellish real estate market, approaching Carabanchel to travel the street with the most real estate agencies in all of Madrid. In the same neighborhood we will also meet a family who wants to be evicted next week.
Finally, we will analyze what we can do as a society and what institutions are doing (and preventing from doing) to resolve this crisis with Alejandro Inurrietaeconomist and former housing advisor to the Zapatero government, and Alberto Ibánez, Member of Parliament for Sumar-Compromise and spokesperson for Sumar Housing in Congress.
