Spain's PM Announces Housing Measures Amidst Eviction Protests
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced 21 urgent housing measures following nationwide protests fueled by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her Madrid home. The eviction of María del Carmen Abascal, who was given 30 minutes to leave her residence, sparked controversy and accusations that the government was not adequately addressing a housing crisis. These protests intensified pressure on Sánchez's administration, contributing to the call for a snap general election. Measures proposed to tackle the housing crisis were previously defeated in parliament.
