Protesters Camp in Central Madrid for Second Night Over Housing Crisis

AD28 September · 02:348 min ago

Hundreds of protesters have camped in tents at Madrid's Puerta del Sol for a second consecutive night to demand housing rights following the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal. Demonstrators are pressuring Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to implement urgent measures, including indefinite rental contracts and stricter eviction limits. The government plans to approve a "Maricarmen decree" on Tuesday, though its passage is uncertain due to the ruling party's lack of a parliamentary majority. Filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar visited the site to show support as activists vow to remain until their demands are met.
