Yesterday, Saturday, a protest march took place in Madrid regarding the case of Mari Carmen Abascal, a woman who was forced to vacate her home after her landlord increased the rent by 275%, reaching 2,650 euros — a home she had lived in for 70 years. Her eviction has sparked a housing crisis in Spain, with protesters demanding legislation to stop rising rental prices and to reduce the hurdles for eviction procedures. The Abascal case has become a focal point in public debates, with protesters calling on the Spanish government, led by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, to pass the "Mari Carmen" law, which would automatically renew rental contracts and impose restrictions on evictions. However, passing this law depends on parliamentary approval, as the government lacks a majority in the legislature. This issue remains one of the most prominent housing concerns, continuing to exert pressure on the government despite previous promises to improve the country's housing situation.
