Spain: Maricarren Abascal, the 87-year-old woman who was evicted from her apartment in Madrid
A 87-year-old woman has become the new face of the housing crisis in Spain. Maricarren Abascal lived in an apartment in central Madrid that he rented for 71 years and the authorities tried to get her out of the house four times. Housing problems and property speculation in the country have caused more than half a million evictions in the last decade.
