Protests in Spain after the eviction of Maricarren Abascal for the right to housing

The eviction of Maricarren Abascal, a 87-year-old woman expelled from her home after the purchase of the building by a real estate fund, generated protests in Madrid and Barcelona. Protesters set up tents and demanded better conditions for access to housing. In the face of social pressure, the Government of Pedro Sánchez seeks to speed up a decree to strengthen protection against evictions and limit the purchase of buildings by so-called "vulture funds" for tourist use.
