Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez stated that market intervention and the expansion of social housing are necessary to resolve the country's housing crisis.

Sanchez said that his government had fulfilled its commitments to raising the minimum wage, supporting public education and healthcare services, and adjusting pensions in line with inflation.

Recalling that they had also rejected US President Donald Trump's demand to increase defense spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), Sanchez said: "I told Trump no to increasing the defense budget to 5 percent."

Calling for social mobilization against political regression, Sanchez stated that they needed a majority that would allow them to remain in power for another four years to address major issues such as the housing crisis.
