The symbol of a broken right

Maricarmen Abascal, 87, was forcibly evicted from her Madrid home on Wednesday. She had lived in the apartment on Sainz de Baranda street all her life, having moved in with her parents in 1956 at the age of 17. Abascal was evicted in a police operation, amid a large crowd of supporters, after a court order. The event was broadcast live by media and on social networks.
