Maricarmen a murit. Femeia devenită un simbol s-a stins în spital, la două săptămâni după ce evacuarea ei din casă a declanșat proteste în toată Spania

Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman whose eviction sparked nationwide protests in Spain, has passed away in the hospital two weeks after her removal from her home. Her rent increased dramatically, leading to her eviction, which ignited a political crisis. Despite a historic agreement allowing her potential return, it came too late. Maricarmen had lived in her apartment for over 70 years, and her situation highlighted the housing crisis in Spain, prompting protests and influencing the decision for early elections by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez. Sanchez expressed condolences on social media, mourning her loss.
