Maricarmen Abascal, an elderly woman whose eviction in Madrid ignited nationwide protests, has died following her hospitalisation. Her case, reflecting Spain’s housing crisis, led to mass demonstrations and ultimately prompted Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to call early elections amid ongoing civil unrest.
A 102-year-old woman died and around 90 people were rescued in Madrigueras, Albacete, following severe flooding that delivered 142 litres per square metre of rain. Persistent rain is expected, with another storm forecasted for the west on Sunday.
Pedro Sánchez faces a critical decision on whether to advance Spain’s general election, following the rejection of two housing decrees by Congress. The prime minister will reflect this weekend on the future of his government, as protests escalate across the country calling for a general strike over housing issues.
