PoliticsOct 7Icon of Spanish housing protests Maricarmen Abascal (87) passed awayMaricarmen Abascal, de 87-jarige vrouw die het gezicht en de naamgever werd van de woningprotesten in Spanje, is overleden. Dat heeft de Spaanse huurdersbond bekendgemaakt. Abascal werd uit haar huis gezet, waar ze zeventig jaar had gewoond. Door een huurverhoging kon ze haar huis niet meer betalen. Haar uithuiszetting was de directe aanleiding voor de protesten in Spanje. Veel Spanjaarden kunnen geen woning betalen door de inflatie en een tekort aan woningen. Vooral in de steden Madrid, Barcelona en Valencia is te weinig woonruimte. Ook kent het land een groot tekort aan sociale huurwoningen.NOS Buitenland
