议员们对政府提出的两项法令进行了投票,以回应 87 岁的妇女 Maricarmen Abascal 被驱逐出家后引发的全国范围内的抗议活动。
The decrees, which introduced a series of initiatives aimed at protecting tenants in the rental market, required parliamentary approval in order to remain in place.

Protesters chanted "shame on you" and "your profits, our misery", after the results were announced.

The government's defeat underlines the fact that Sánchez, a Socialist, does not command a congressional majority and it has heightened speculation that he might call an early general election, which was not due until next summer.
政府的失败突显了这样一个事实,即社会党人桑切斯并未获得国会多数席位,这也加剧了人们对他可能提前举行大选的猜测,而大选要到明年夏天才能举行。
Sources told Spanish media that the government would spend the weekend deciding its next step, and whether to dissolve parliament.
消息人士告诉西班牙媒体,政府将在周末决定下一步行动,以及是否解散议会。
Sánchez's beleaguered government had already been mired in a series of scandals and judicial cases affecting his Socialist Party and close allies.

Maricarmen Abascal, 87, was evicted from her flat but later told she could return Abascal was evicted after she was unable to pay a sharp rent increase introduced by Urbagestión, the company that owned her flat in central Madrid.
87 岁的 Maricarmen Abascal 被逐出公寓,但后来被告知可以返回 阿巴斯卡因无法支付 Urbagestión(该公司在马德里市中心拥有她的公寓)大幅上涨的租金而被驱逐。
Hundreds of protesters gathered to oppose the eviction last week and the case triggered a broader movement across the country demanding affordable rentals, which have soared in recent years.
上周,数百名抗议者聚集在一起反对驱逐,此案在全国范围内引发了一场更广泛的运动,要求提供负担得起的租金,近年来租金飙升。
The social backlash has seen Urbagestión negotiate the return of Abascal to her flat on a low rent.
由于社会的强烈反对,Urbagestión 进行了谈判,让阿巴斯卡以低廉的租金回到她的公寓。
However, protests have continued, with people occupying squares in Madrid and other cities, pitching tents in squares and with a series of marches scheduled for this weekend.
然而,抗议活动仍在继续,人们占领了马德里和其他城市的广场,在广场上搭起帐篷,并计划在本周末举行一系列游行。
Maricarmen Abascal's eviction last week triggered protests demanding an end to the housing crisis The Sindicato de Inquilinas (Tenants' Union) activist association which has been co-ordinating protests, announced during the congressional debate that it was abandoning the tent protest in central Madrid. It said it wanted to "take the struggle to all the neighbourhoods, residential blocks and homes of Madrid, wherever there are rental increases, expulsions and abuses each day, and turn the energy of the last few days into a permanent organisation".
Maricarmen Abascal 上周被驱逐引发了要求结束住房危机的抗议活动 一直在协调抗议活动的租户联盟 (Sindicato de Inquilinas) 活动家协会在国会辩论期间宣布,将放弃马德里市中心的帐篷抗议活动。 该组织表示,希望“将斗争带到马德里的所有街区、住宅区和家庭,无论哪里每天都有租金上涨、驱逐和虐待的地方,并将过去几天的精力转化为永久性组织”。
Protesters are also calling for a general strike over the housing crisis.
抗议者还呼吁针对住房危机进行总罢工。
The left-wing coalition government responded to the social anger by hurriedly drawing up the two decree-laws in an effort to defuse the protests. The first decree included the suspension of evictions of vulnerable tenants until 2030, a two-year extension to rental leases due to expire before 2028, tax increases for tourist apartments, and a restriction on the purchase of residential properties by what the government calls "vulture funds".
左翼联合政府针对社会愤怒,匆忙制定了两项法令,试图平息抗议活动。 第一项法令包括暂停驱逐弱势租户直至 2030 年、将 2028 年之前到期的租赁租约延长两年、增加旅游公寓的税收,以及限制政府所谓的“秃鹫基金”购买住宅物业。
The second decree was more controversial, because it included the automatic renewal of rental contracts, a major demand of many on the left and the Sindicato de Inquilinas.
第二项法令更具争议性,因为它包括自动续签租赁合同,这是许多左翼人士和 Inquilinas 工会的主要要求。
The conservative People's Party (PP) and far-right Vox had already said they would vote against both initiatives, leaving the minority government depending on the support of smaller nationalist parties in Catalonia and the Basque Country.
保守的人民党和极右翼的 Vox 已经表示,他们将投票反对这两项倡议,从而使少数派政府依赖于加泰罗尼亚和巴斯克地区较小的民族主义政党的支持。
However, by the eve of the parliamentary session, the centre-right, pro-independence Together for Catalonia (JxCat) had signalled its opposition to both laws, condemning them to failure.
然而,在议会会议前夕,支持加泰罗尼亚独立的中右翼组织(JxCat)表示反对这两项法律,并谴责它们失败。
Friday's debate was fierce and at times angry, as supporters and opponents of the decrees clashed in Congress.
周五的辩论非常激烈,有时甚至令人愤怒,法令的支持者和反对者在国会发生冲突。
"I don't ask you, I beg you to be brave and consistent," Sánchez said, moments before the two votes took place.
“我不要求你,我请求你勇敢并始终如一,”桑切斯在两次投票前不久说道。
"Because they are not just ambitious measures, they are necessary".
“因为它们不仅仅是雄心勃勃的措施,而且是必要的”。
He appealed to lawmakers "to put order and humanity into [the housing] market, because if we don't, it will bring down our society".
他呼吁立法者“将秩序和人性带入[住房]市场,因为如果我们不这样做,我们的社会就会崩溃”。
Social Affairs minister Pablo Bustinduy, of the Sumar alliance, the junior partner in the governing coalition, presented the debate in dramatic terms. "Today is about defending an international oligarchy which is extracting the rent from salaries earned with the effort of working classes of this country in order to share it out with dividends and they don't even pay taxes in Spain," he said.
执政联盟的初级伙伴、苏马尔联盟的社会事务部长巴勃罗·布斯廷杜伊(Pablo Bustinduy)以戏剧性的措辞介绍了这场辩论。 他说:“今天的主题是捍卫国际寡头集团,该寡头集团从这个国家工人阶级努力赚取的工资中提取租金,以便与股息分享,而他们在西班牙甚至不纳税。”
"Voting against these decrees today means defending the interests of this oligarchy and turning your back on your own people."
“今天投票反对这些法令意味着捍卫这个寡头集团的利益并背弃自己的人民。”
However, Miriam Nogueras, of JxCat, said the decrees had been hastily drawn up and lacked rigour.
然而,JxCat 的 Miriam Nogueras 表示,这些法令是仓促制定的,缺乏严谨性。
She said the decrees "will allow [vulture] funds to keep buying, keep speculating and evictions to keep happening… these two decrees would provoke the opposite effect of what they aim to achieve."
她表示,这些法令“将允许秃鹫基金继续购买、继续投机和驱逐……这两项法令将引发与他们想要实现的目标相反的效果。”
The political right has argued that the government's attempts to intervene will frighten homeowners, causing them not to put their properties on the rental market and pushing prices up further.
政治右翼人士认为,政府的干预尝试会吓到房主,导致他们不愿将房产投放到租赁市场,从而进一步推高房价。
Juan Bravo of the PP said "housing doesn't get cheaper with decrees, it gets cheaper with more homes".
人民党的胡安·布拉沃 (Juan Bravo) 表示,“住房不会因为法令而变得更便宜,而是因为有更多的住房而变得更便宜”。
