I didn't know the Spanish had a "Constitutional right to housing". Apparently they do have this right. From Gemini:

The Spanish Constitution of 1978, in Article 47, states:

"All Spaniards have the right to enjoy decent and adequate housing. The public authorities shall promote the necessary conditions and establish appropriate standards to make this right effective, regulating land use in accordance with the general interest to prevent speculation."

And it conflicts with Article 33 (Right to Private Property).

Also there are 2 different "tiers" of rights in the Spanish constitution.

Tier 1: Fundamental Rights (e.g., Free Speech, Voting): These are strictly protected. If the government violates them, you can go directly to the Constitutional Court for protection (Amparo).

Tier 2: Guiding Principles (Where Housing Lives): Article 47 falls under the "Guiding Principles of Social and Economic Policy."
