The recent eviction of Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman from her Madrid home of 71 years, has ignited widespread outrage and protests across Spain, highlighting the country’s deepening housing crisis. Thousands have taken to the streets in Madrid, demanding government action to limit evictions and implement tenant protections. Demonstrators have staged sit-ins, calling for reform as anger grows over the treatment of vulnerable residents in the face of aggressive housing policies by investment funds. In response to the public outcry, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has pledged to propose housing reforms aimed at addressing the ongoing crisis, with protests continuing now into their third day.
