“Hasta el final, compañeros”: Sol vuelve a acampar quince años después del 15-M

This Saturday, over 150 tents sprouted in the heart of Madrid's Puerta del Sol, as more than a hundred people joined a protest camp in solidarity with Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman who was evicted from her home. The crowd, led by Valeria Racu, spokesperson for the Inquilinas Trade Union, shouted "Hasta el final, compañeros" as they looked forward to the upcoming Monday when the government would decide on her case.

Racu urged the government to take action, stating, "Either the rent freeze falls, or the government falls. That much is clear." Meanwhile, the protests echoed the 15-M movement of a decade ago, with the location and the urgency of the situation reminiscent of those events.
