Desahuciada en Barcelona una mujer vulnerable con dos hijos menores un día después de la muerte de Maricarmen

A woman, Natalia Zakharova, and her two children have been evicted from their home in Barcelona. She is a victim of gender violence and in a vulnerable situation. The eviction occurred despite a recent government decree banning evictions of vulnerable people without alternative housing.

The decree did not apply in Zakharova's case. The authorities have offered her family temporary accommodation at the Centre d’Urgències i Emergències Socials de Barcelona, but it is only open from 8pm to 8am.

This eviction happened a day after Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman, died in a Madrid hospital. According to Expansion ES, she had been hospitalized for 15 days. Her death followed a lengthy and publicized dispute over her eviction from her home.
