Maricarmen

Thousands of people marched in Spain in support of Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman facing eviction, according to reports. The protests highlight growing anger in Spain over housing pressures and evictions of vulnerable residents, a recurring flashpoint in the country's housing debate. Demonstrators called for protection for elderly tenants and pushed authorities to find a solution allowing her to remain in her home.

An 87-year-old woman was dramatically evicted from her home in Madrid, a case activists say highlights Spain's housing shortage and eviction crisis. Protesters gathered at Puerta del Sol after a demonstration against evictions, vowing to camp there under the slogan 'Not one more Maricarmen', demanding authorities halt forced removals of vulnerable residents.

Protesters took to the streets in Madrid over housing, marching after the eviction of a woman known as Maricarmen. Placards called for a rent strike and a general strike, while others declared the city would become "la tumba del rentismo" — the grave of rentierism. Demonstrators demanded concrete action on housing and evictions.
