Maricarmen's Eviction: 87-Year-Old's Forced Removal Ignites Spain's Housing Crisis
Maricarmen Abascal, 87, was forcibly evicted from her Madrid apartment on Wednesday after living there since 1956. The incident, which involved police clashes with protesters and a UN appeal, has become a symbol of Spain's severe housing crisis. Abascal, now hospitalized, has urged Spaniards to 'fight' for their homes, while Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez faces pressure to address the issue.
