Maricarmen Abascal, the woman who became a symbol of housing protests in Spain after being evicted from the apartment where she had lived for 70 years, has died at the age of 87.

Abascal lived in an apartment in Madrid and had been facing a legal battle for years to avoid losing her home. The landlords wanted to increase her rent from 500 euros to more than 2,000 euros a month.

On September 23, despite her deteriorating health, the eviction was carried out. After leaving the apartment, the 87-year-old woman was hospitalized, where she remained until the last days of her life.

Her case sparked strong reactions across Spain. At first hundreds and then thousands of people gathered with tents in Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid's main squares, demanding stronger measures to protect tenants and the right to housing.

The pressure of the protests also led to the adoption of two measures by the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, aimed at stopping evictions for the most vulnerable and extending by two years the expiration of rental contracts. These measures became known as the “Maricarmén decrees,” in honor of the 87-year-old who became a symbol of the housing crisis.

The Tenants Union, which had supported Abascal during her legal battle, announced her death via social media.

"We are saddened to announce that Maricarmen passed away today," the union said in a statement. According to the union, although an agreement was later reached that would allow the woman to return to her home, the solution came too late.

The union described the 87-year-old's eviction as a situation that could have been avoided, after a long and difficult legal battle.

Meanwhile, the main labor unions in Spain have called for a general strike on November 11. At the center of the protest are demands for housing rights and better wages.
