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 forcibly removed her on a stretcher after giving her about 30 minutes to pack. The eviction sparked widespread protests across Spain, with tens of thousands demonstrating in Madrid and approximately 50 other cities demanding stronger tenant protections and affordable housing measures. Protesters called for legislative action including automatic renewal of rental contracts and a ban on evictions without alternative housing. The case became a focal point in Spain's political debate over the housing crisis ahead of elections. Parliament subsequently rejected an emergency housing relief package, with votes against it coming from the right-wing Catalan separatist party Junts, the main opposition Popular Party, and the far-right Vox party. Police in Valencia used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse some protesters. Activists established a protest camp in Madrid's Puerta del Sol square.
