* **Summary**:
  * The measures announced by the Spanish government to offer financial aid to tenants and mortgage-holders affected by the coronavirus crisis are so complicated and set the threshold so high that most people don't manage to apply for them or don't qualify to get them.
  * In fact, around 90% of those appyling for it don't meet the established criteria, according to the Spanish Association of Financial Products Users.
