On Saturday, thousands of people marched through the streets of Madrid to protest the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman, which took place on Wednesday.
The demonstrators are demanding better tenant protections amid widespread anger over rising housing costs.
This mobilization is putting pressure on Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s government, whose cabinet is expected to soon approve a set of measures favorable to tenants.
