What the coverage shows
ABC News and France 24 both center the death of the elderly woman whose eviction became tied to Spain’s housing protests. ABC News keeps the focus on her as the “woman whose eviction sparked protests,” while France 24 broadens the framing to mounting anger and adds that thousands demonstrated over her death. France 24 is also alone in mentioning that the protests led to an early election.
