Evicted 87-year-old woman Maricarmen, heart of Spain’s housing protests, has died
Maricarmen Abascal, the 87-year-old woman whose dramatic eviction last month sparked mass housing protests in Spain that ultimately led to an early election, has died, Madrid’s tenants’ union said on Wednesday, provoking an outpouring of grief and anger on the streets of the capital.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the death of the woman whose eviction became a symbol of Spain’s housing crisis, and both tie the story to the protests that followed. Sky News adds a stronger political frame, saying the eviction was partly responsible for a snap election, while Al Jazeera uniquely says Maricarmen became a symbol after being evicted on a stretcher in Madrid.
