A much needed law that needs to pass asap. Foreigners were buying houses in Spain and renting them to foreigners without ever setting foot on Spanish soil. Paying taxes to the country they live in. Without any Spaniard getting involved in between. It was a crazy situation. The reaction of the English-speakers to this law is normal as they seem to see themselves as 'having rights' or even 'owning' Spain because Spain is 'in the West' and apparently for some reason, Americans or the Brits 'own it'.
