Spain (Murcia): PP-led region accelerates its Affordable Housing Decree

Murcia's regional government convened municipal technical staff to standardise how towns apply its new Affordable Housing Decree-Law, against the backdrop of the national €7bn State Housing Plan (60% central/40% regional funding, first €800m tranche released in July).

A centre-right region using planning standardisation, not just money, to speed housing delivery while pushing back on the centre-left national plan — mirroring UK tensions between national targets and local discretion.
