Del desahucio de Maricarmen al decreto dinamitado por Junts: los ocho días que agitaron la vivienda en España
La presión en las calles, especialmente en Madrid, ha apresurado a PSOE y Sumar a acordar los dos textos que se votan hoy en el Congreso y que los independentistas catalanes han anunciado que rechazan
On September 23rd, police carried out the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman, from her apartment in Madrid after nearly her entire life. Evictions in Spain happen dozens of thousands of times annually, but this one was unique. Protests against the company responsible for the eviction, Urbagestión, and against the laws and administrations that protected her, spread across the country, culminating in a massive encampment at the Puerta del Sol reminiscent of the 15-M movement.
Faced with a delicate situation as the legislative term ended, the government hurriedly agreed to two urgent royal decrees within a week to address the housing crisis. This Friday, they will be voted upon in the Congress. The parliamentary arithmetic, once again, is in the hands of Junts, which has announced they will reject them. Without their support, the decrees cannot move forward.
