Summary

An 87-year-old woman, Maricarmen Abascal, was evicted from her Madrid apartment where she had lived for over 70 years after a real estate firm raised the rent by 275 percent to approximately €2,650 monthly—far exceeding her pension of around €1,500. Police carried out the eviction on September 23, removing her on a stretcher after giving her about 30 minutes to pack. The incident sparked thousands of protesters across Madrid and dozens of other Spanish cities demanding stronger tenant protections and affordable housing measures. Protesters chanted that she had been "murdered" by landlord greed. The eviction became a focal point in Spain's political debate over housing affordability, with tenants' unions calling for new legislation including automatic rental contract renewal. Parliament subsequently rejected an emergency housing relief package, with votes against coming from the right-wing Catalan separatist party Junts, the main opposition Popular Party, and the far-right Vox party. Some protests remained peaceful while police in Valencia used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse demonstrators. No official cause of death has been established yet.
