Spain Erupts in Anger as Evicted Woman Maricarmen Dies

Maricarmen Abascal, the 87-year-old Spanish woman whose dramatic eviction last month sparked mass housing protests that led to an early election, has died, the Madrid tenants' union said on Wednesday, as thousands demonstrated over her death. France 24's correspondent in Madrid Sarah Morris has the details. Maricarmen became a symbol of Spain's housing crisis after she was forcibly removed from her home of 70 years. Her death has ignited fresh outrage, with protesters demanding affordable housing and an end to evictions. The snap election, called in response to the unrest, will be a referendum on the government's housing policies. FRANCE 24 reports on the growing movement and the political fallout from Maricarmen's passing.
