The Spanish government has proposed banning evictions until 2030 to address the housing crisis. This follows protests sparked by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman.
Spain's coalition government has approved proposals to address the nation's housing crisis, including a ban on evictions for vulnerable individuals until 2030. These measures follow widespread protests sparked by the forced eviction of an 87-year-old woman, Maricarmen Abascal, from her home of 70 years after her rent was significantly increased.
The government's proposed legislation aims to provide greater housing security and protect tenants facing precarious situations. The protests, which saw demonstrators camping in Madrid's Sol Square, highlight the growing public concern over housing affordability and the practices of some property investors.
