"As long as a business is not going to have a right," the Housing Union Network at the Government's ICPH Congress reports.
- Act of denunciation at the International Congress of Housing Policies organized by the Basque Government at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao. Several members of the Union Housing Network of the Basque Country have climbed the stage with a banner just like the Councilor for Territorial Planning, Housing and Transport of the Basque Government, Iñaki Arriola.
