Spain Eviction-Crisis Figure Maricarmen Abascal Dies
Maricarmen Abascal, 87, died after being hospitalized following her eviction from the Madrid home where she had lived for more than 70 years; her case fueled nationwide protests over Spain’s housing crisis and a political crisis that led Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to call an early election. The crisis continues to play out in threatened evictions in Barcelona and protests in Madrid, where police used rubber bullets to keep far-right demonstrators from reaching a housing activist camp.
