Eviction of 87-year-old sparks Madrid housing protest
Original: Eviction of 87-year-old sparks encampment protest in Madrid over housing crisis
The eviction of an 87-year-old resident in Madrid has prompted protesters to set up an encampment in the Spanish capital, turning the case into a flashpoint over the country's housing crisis. Demonstrators are railing against rising rents and weak tenant protections, and the elderly woman's situation has become a symbol of wider anger over displacement in Spanish cities.
Why now: The elderly age of the evictee has made the case an emotionally charged symbol of Spain's worsening housing crisis.
