Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman who was evicted from her Madrid home this week, has called on people to attend a demonstration in the capital today to protest the housing crisis and evictions. In a video message from hospital, she urged unity to achieve their goals, including indefinite contracts. The demonstration, organised by the Sindicato de Inquilinas, will march through central Madrid to demand protection measures for tenants, such as automatic rental contract renewal and an end to evictions without alternative housing.
The march will start at 18:30 at Puerta del Sol and head to the Congreso de los Diputados under the slogan "Ni una Maricarmen más".
