Political pressure builds on both sides of the Atlantic as housing anger drives mass protests in Spain and voters in Latvia head to the polls under security concerns. In the United States, Donald Trump intensifies a public dispute inside his own party by urging supporters to pressure a Republican senator over daylight saving legislation.
Thousands of people protest across Spain over the housing crisis after parliament rejects measures meant to strengthen tenant protections. Demonstrations take place in Madrid and other cities as anger grows over rising rents, housing costs and the lack of stronger government action for renters.
Latvia holds a parliamentary election with security looming large in the campaign, including concern about possible Russian hybrid attacks. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, who backs Ukraine, seeks support to secure a full term as voters choose the country’s next parliament.
Donald Trump publishes what he says is Senator Tom Cotton’s cell phone number and urges supporters to call him in support of making daylight saving time permanent. The move sharpens a feud with the Arkansas Republican by publicly targeting him as an obstacle to the bill.
