Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The leftwing coalition Sumar, the junior partner in the government, said it would push the socialist-led government to greenlight the expropriation of Maricarmen's former home as well as put forward a package of rent freezes.
49% : "Homes are for living in, not for large corporations to do business," said Unai Sordo of the Workers' Commissions (CCOO) as he called for a tax system that would make "the business of hoarding homes unprofitable".
49% : The UN's special rapporteur on the right to housing, Koldo Casla, called on Spain to amend the laws governing its legal system, describing it as "impossible to understand" how the profitability of a real estate company had been prioritised over Maricarmen's right to housing.
