Manifestación contra los desahucios, en directo | Maricarmen anima desde el hospital a acudir a la manifestación de esta tarde en Madrid
Una marcha por la crisis de la vivienda recorre esta tarde el centro de la capital | La protesta arrancará a las 18.30 desde la Puerta del Sol y se dirigirá hacia el Congreso bajo el lema “Ni una Maricarmen más”
Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman who was evicted from her home in Madrid this week, has called on the public to join the demonstration organized for this evening in the capital to protest against the housing crisis and evictions. "If everyone comes together, we can secure indefinite contracts. We can achieve what we set out to do. That is what I hope for you," she stated in a video posted on the X account of the Tenant Workers' Union, organizers of the demonstration.
The march will wind through central Madrid to call for measures to protect tenants, including "automatic renewal of rental contracts, anti-fraud measures, and no evictions without alternative housing." It will depart at 6:30 PM from the Puerta del Sol and proceed to the Congress of Deputies under the slogan "Not one more Maricarmen."
The case of Maricarmen has sparked social and political outrage, compelling the Government to expedite negotiations for the housing decree and prompting tenants from cities across Spain to resume street protests.
