Eviction of 87-year-old puts Spain's housing crisis in spotlight

Original: It shouldn’t take the eviction of an 87-year-old to get Spain’s housing crisis fixed | María Ramírez By María Ramírez Pé

A Guardian column by María Ramírez argues it should not take the eviction of an 87-year-old woman to push Spain into fixing its housing crisis. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has praised New York mayor Zohran Mamdani's focus on affordable homes, and the piece urges Spanish politicians to follow that example and act decisively on the country's escalating rents and evictions.

Why now: The eviction of an elderly tenant has reignited debate over Spain's affordability crisis and drawn comparisons with Mamdani's housing agenda in New York.
