87-Year-Old Woman Can Remain in Madrid Home After Mass Protests
Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman evicted from her Madrid apartment after rent increased fivefold, will remain in her home following a goodwill agreement with the landlord to maintain previous rental levels for eight years. The eviction sparked large-scale protests, including a tent camp at Madrid's Puerta del Sol and demonstrations in Barcelona, highlighting Spain's housing crisis. In response, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s minority government discussed measures with opposition members to protect vulnerable tenants, with Sánchez stating that safeguarding renters is a matter of humanity rather than ideology.
