De Pepi a Maricarmen siete años después: dos mujeres vulnerables y dos desahucios que movieron cambios legislativos
Sus desalojos provocaron movilizaciones, inspiraron cambios en las leyes de vivienda y llegaron hasta la ONU. Sin embargo, se quedaron en la calle sin alternativa habitacional
Junts per Catalunya has laid out its demands to the government, seeking to include a ban on evictions and the purchase of homes by speculative investment funds in a new decree. The Catalan political party aims to finalize an agreement with the government within four days, before the upcoming Council of Ministers meeting. The decree is expected to introduce "structural changes" regarding evictions.
The recent case of Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman evicted from her 70-year home in Madrid's Retiro district, has highlighted the urgency of the issue. Junts per Catalunya's demands also include preventing the purchase of properties by these funds, which aim to buy at low prices and profit from significant capital gains.
