Police Evict 87-Year-Old Woman in Madrid Amid Protests
Riot police used teargas on protesters in Madrid on Wednesday during the eviction of an 87-year-old disabled woman, Maricarmen, from her home of 71 years. Housing rights campaigners have condemned the landlord's actions, describing the behavior as 'barbaric'. The firm that recently bought the apartment had set a rent that Maricarmen was unable to pay. The incident has been highlighted as indicative of Spain's housing shortage.
