Spain's housing tension moved from background noise to the streets, with thousands marching in Madrid over evictions, including that of an 87-year-old woman, keeping affordability pressure in the headlines. The social friction sits against a backdrop of steady second quarter growth driven by domestic demand, though elevated borrowing costs continue to weigh on households and the government's debt bill. Cost-of-living items, from electricity price swings to housing, remain the connective thread between the economy's solid footing and public frustration.
