Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets in Spain, particularly in Madrid, following the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal from her home of 70 years, which has sparked outrage nationwide. Protesters are demanding urgent action to address the escalating housing crisis as the Spanish government faces criticism after parliamentary lawmakers rejected key housing bills aimed at providing tenant protections and preventing evictions. The situation has resulted in calls for early elections and prompted debates about the lessons to be learned from the ongoing crisis. As protests intensify, the government is proposing a ban on evictions until 2030, and Maricarmen is set to be offered a return to her home, becoming a symbol of the struggle for affordable housing in Spain and beyond.
