Spain mourns Maricarmen Abascal, whose eviction sparked housing protests

Protests and anger have grown across Spain after the death of an 87-year-old woman in the wake of her eviction from her home. Maricarmen Abascal was thrown out of her home of seven decades in what became the "cause celebre" of Spain's housing crisis.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets centre the death of the 87-year-old woman linked to the eviction story, with Sky News foregrounding the death itself and The Independent keeping the protest angle in its headline. Sky News is alone in saying her eviction had sparked major protests in Spain and was partly responsible for a snap election, while The Independent is alone in adding that she had been in hospital since the eviction and naming her as Maricarmen Abascal.
