Hours after the death of Maricarmen Abascal, the 87-year-old woman whose eviction on September 23 sparked a wave of social indignation over the housing crisis, her legacy will mark this Thursday's pre-election campaign. Maricarmen passed away on Wednesday at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid after 15 days of hospitalization.
At least a thousand people marched by night from the Puerta del Sol to the Congress to honor her. Additionally, a new decree of housing takes effect on Thursday, strengthening the protection of vulnerable tenants against forced evictions. In an electoral context, the leader of the People's Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, convenes the National Steering Committee to present its campaign committee ahead of the November 29 elections.
