An 87-year-old woman, Maricarmen Abascal, was evicted from her Madrid apartment after failing to pay rent following a recent property purchase. The incident has sparked protests and reignited discussions about Spain's housing crisis, rising rents, and the need for stronger tenant protections. According to Deutsche Welle, police escorted her from the apartment she had lived in for over seven decades. The BBC reported that the tenant was unable to pay the rent set by the firm that recently bought the property. The case has drawn attention to the challenges faced by long-term residents in an increasingly unaffordable housing market.
