An 87-year-old woman's eviction sparks Spain's housing crisis protests
The eviction of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal Martín in Madrid, after an investment fund bought her apartment building and more than tripled her rent, has become a symbol of Spain’s rising cost of living and sparked nationwide protests against corporate greed and wealth inequality.

What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the story around the 87-year-old woman’s eviction as the focal point of Spain’s housing-crisis protests. NPR alone foregrounds the scale of the Madrid demonstrations and overnight camping in Puerta del Sol, while Reuters and South China Morning Post both emphasize the coalition government’s response with proposals including banning evictions until 2030. South China Morning Post is also the only outlet to say she accepted an offer to return home, and Al Jazeera alone says the real estate firm backed down and restored her old rent.
