Morning opened with the government refusing to withdraw the two housing decrees and forcing a roll-call vote, offering Junts abstention in exchange for processing them as bills. Junts held its no, denouncing blackmail, while ministers framed the choice as people versus vultures and Sánchez took the floor to plead for courage.
By early afternoon both texts fell with votes from PP, Vox, Junts and UPN, a double defeat editors read as breaking the legislature.
Attention then shifted to Sánchez, who left the chamber before the vote and opened a weekend of reflection on snap elections, with 29 November floated and Socialist officials quoted at 99% likelihood. Outside, Sol campers marched on Congress shouting shame and prepared some fifty weekend mobilizations.
