Rejection of housing decrees stirs local politics in the Vallès
In Sant Cugat, Arran and the Tenants' Union claimed responsibility for graffiti and rubbish left at the Junts office, criticising the party over its position on the housing decrees. In Terrassa, Tot per Terrassa acknowledged discomfort over Junts' vote and said it would consider its options, while Junts defended its contribution to stability in the local government. In Ripollet, the Tenants' Union regretted that the decrees had not gone ahead, and a local opinion piece criticised PP, Vox and Junts for their stance.

The rejection of the housing decrees has had immediate effects on local politics in the Vallès. In Sant Cugat, Arran and the Sindicat de Llogateres claimed responsibility for an action at the Junts office, with graffiti and rubbish at the entrance and messages against the party. In Terrassa, Tot per Terrassa acknowledged unease over Junts’ vote and said it would assess possible scenarios within the municipal group, while Junts argued that it brings stability and work to the local government.
The housing decrees were national measures affecting sensitive areas such as rents and evictions. Their rejection has put pressure on parties that share municipal governments but hold different positions in Congress.
For landlords and tenants, the immediate effect is not an automatic change to contracts. It does show that housing regulation will remain a major political fault line and may shape future rules.
