Spain’s government and the opposition plan to meet for a third time today, after they made progress toward a deal to stem home repossessions while Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy prepared to face a general strike.
Talks between government and Socialist Party officials that began Nov. 12 will reconvene at 6:30 p.m. as the two sides work on “urgent measures” to limit evictions in cases of mortgage default, said a government spokesman, who asked not to be named in line with government policy. The government plans to pass a decree enforcing the measures at a cabinet meeting tomorrow, the spokesman said.
