Dozens of housing protesters remain camped out in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol square following a massive weekend march demanding government action on Spain’s housing crisis. The demonstrations—sparked by the controversial September 23 eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal from her home of 70 years—brought thousands to the streets on Saturday, September 26. Activists plan to maintain their tent camp until Tuesday, September 29, coinciding with the expected approval of a royal decree law addressing the crisis. Organizers are pushing for structural changes, including a freeze on rental prices, curbs on short-term rentals, and permanent protections against evictions.
