  "account": "The 87-year-old Spanish woman, Maricarmen Abascal, passed away two weeks after her forced eviction, which sparked mass protests against housing crises. The Spanish Rental Tenants' Association informed that they regretted to announce her passing. The eviction occurred on September 23, after a long struggle with her landlord, who had been removed by police from her Madrid apartment where she had lived for 70 years. Protests erupted across the country under the slogan \"Ni una Maricarmen más\" (\"Not one more Maricarmen\"). A protest camp formed at the central Placa de Sol in Madrid. The government responded with decrees for better tenant protection, but the right-wing majority in parliament rejected them on Friday. In response, leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced new elections for November 29 and a nationwide general strike on November 11. The Minister of Health, Mónica García, expressed her condolences on X, praising Abascal's dignity and courage. Even though the tenant and the landlord had reached an agreement for Abascal to return to her apartment, she was too weakened to do so.",
