Original: 87-Year-Old’s Eviction Sparks Encampment in Madrid Plaza to Protest Housing Crisis
An 87-year-old woman's eviction in Madrid has prompted protesters to set up an encampment in a city plaza, rallying against Spain's housing crisis. Demonstrators are using the case to highlight rising rents and protections for elderly and vulnerable tenants, and the action is drawing broader attention to affordable housing demands across the country.
Why now: The eviction of a very elderly tenant has become a symbol of Spain's worsening housing affordability crisis, galvanising public protest.
