Thousands of people went to the streets of Madrid to protest the evictions and demand urgent action in the face of the housing crisis in Spain. The mobilization was called after the eviction of Maricarsen Abascal, a 87-year-old woman who had lived for more than 70 years in the same house and whose case has generated a strong social reaction. Miriam Bue, spokesman for the Madrid tenants' union and the European coalition of housing movements, addresses the issue in France 24.
