When Housing Gets Political: The election in Spain
26.11.2026
08:30 - 09:30English
The housing crisis in Spain has sparked a snap election on 29 November.
CC The eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal in September led thousands of Spaniards into the streets to protest housing crisis and inequality. The protests led Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to call a snap election on November 29th.
What are the political consequences of the housing crisis, in Spain and in Europe? What are the causes?
We invite Sammen Housing, who works with student housing here in Bergen, to moderate this discussion with our expert panelists on Spanish politics, political demography and housing.
All are welcome!

Jana Belschner
Researcher, UiB
Jana Belschner is a researcher at the Department of Comparative Politics, UiB.
Belschner’s research is positioned at the nexus of political behaviour, political representation, and political economy. Generally, she is interested in how demography affects elections and policy, with a focus on youth’s political participation and the political representation of young and future generations’ interests.
She has specific expertise in the empirical analysis of the causes and effects of electoral reforms, such as electoral quotas and youth enfranchisement, and has researched these topics across Western Europe and North Africa.
In 2023, she was awarded a Trond Mohn Starting Grant for her project “Representing the Future in an Aging Europe. The Politics of Demographic Change”. The project will run from June 2024 to May 2028.
