A large protest took place in Madrid following the eviction of an 87-year-old woman due to a significant rent increase, highlighting Spain's housing crisis.
Thousands marched through Madrid on Saturday to protest Spain's escalating housing crisis. The demonstration followed the eviction of an 87-year-old woman, Maricarmen Abascal, from her lifelong home after her rent was increased by 275 percent by a real estate firm that acquired the building. Demonstrators called for greater protections against such evictions and rising housing costs.
The incident has intensified pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's government to address the affordability of housing. Spain has grappled with a persistent housing shortage and increasing rental prices, particularly in major cities, leading to growing social unrest and calls for legislative reform.
