A protester shakes a keyring while holding a banner that reads “¡Derecho a techo a justo precio!” (“Right to housing at a fair price!”) as she marches down Calle de Alcalá towards Puerta del Sol during the ‘Manifestación por una vivienda digna’ (Demonstration for Dignified Housing) on February 9, 2025.
