Madrid Protest Camp Grows After Eviction of 87-Year-Old

Hundreds of protesters camped in Madrid's Puerta del Sol on Sunday, demanding tenant protections after the eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal. The demonstration followed a Saturday rally that drew tens of thousands. Abascal was evicted after her rent rose 275%. The government is expected to approve a 'Maricarmen decree' with eviction restrictions, but its parliamentary passage is uncertain.
