A smile, a hand on the back, and a gesture of closeness between two government colleagues. Isabel Rodríguez and Pablo Bustinduy have starred in one of the images of the parliamentary session on this Thursday, during the Permanent Deputation of the Congress of Deputies. A relaxed scene that contrasts with the uneven outcome of the vote on the two housing decrees that both ministers have come to defend.
The session ended with a victory for Rodríguez and a setback for Bustinduy. The Congress has ratified, on its second attempt, the decree with the Government’s main measures to address the housing crisis, while it has rejected the proposal that would have allowed rental contracts to be extended indefinitely.
