Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Madrid on Saturday to denounce the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her home, which she had occupied for seven decades.
The protesters demanded better protection for tenants, condemning the conditions under which this eviction took place.
Following the march, some participants maintained their occupation of a square in the Spanish capital overnight, extending the mobilization beyond the march itself.
This demonstration reflects a broader context of tensions surrounding housing in Spain, where evictions and rising rents regularly fuel social unrest.
