An 87-year-old Spanish pensioner, Maricarmen Abascal, who was evicted from an apartment she had lived in for decades, is set to return home, her lawyer says. The eviction last week sparked large-scale protests across Spain and drew national attention to housing conditions.
Her lawyer says a deal has been reached with the property owners, allowing her to move back. RTE and The Local frame the return as part of the broader political pressure created by the protests, with Spain’s government seeking a new housing law. BBC Sport and Deutsche Welle also describe how Abascal became a symbol of the housing crisis, while reporting that her return follows the intervention of her legal team and negotiations related to the eviction.
