The 87-year-old woman evicted from her home in Spain has died
NewsAgo briefing
The clear picture
What happened
Fox News and Sky News report that Maricarmen Abascal, 87, has died after her eviction from a home she had occupied for 70 years; Fox News identifies the home as a Madrid apartment.
Latest development
An 87-year-old woman, whose eviction from her home sparked major protests in Spain and was partly responsible for a snap election, has died.
Why it matters
Sky News says the eviction had already helped trigger major protests and was partly responsible for a snap election; Abascal’s death adds a new focal point to that existing housing-related political dispute, but neither report documents any official response after her death.
