Spain mourns 87-year-old evictee’s death with protests as Pedro Sanchez is blasted

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has faced backlash as citizens mourn the death of 87-year-old evictee Maricarmen Abascal.

On Wednesday, it was reported that the 87-year-old Abascal died following an eviction from her home two weeks ago.

Spanish citizens in Madrid honoured Abascal with candles, flowers and an improvised shrine to commemorate the 87-year-old.

Following Abascal’s eviction from her apartment, where she had lived for 70 years, during which she was required to be stretchered out, protests erupted across Spain.
