The forced eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her longtime Madrid home has prompted protests and renewed debate over Spain’s housing crisis.
Police escorted Maricarmen Abascal from the apartment where she had lived for more than seven decades, according to Deutsche Welle. The BBC reported that Abascal was unable to pay the rent set by a company that had recently bought the property.
Protesters gathered in opposition to the eviction, which was carried out by force. The Guardian reported that police used tear gas against demonstrators during the operation. Images and accounts of the eviction drew outrage in Spain and focused attention on rising rents and legal protections for long-term tenants.
