Tens of thousands protest against Spain's housing crisis
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets of Spanish cities in protest at the country's housing crisis in the wake of the forcible eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal.
What the coverage shows
All six outlets converge on mass protests across Spanish cities over the housing crisis, and most tie them to failed or rejected housing measures in parliament. Reuters is the most specific about the measures it says were rejected, while France 24 also foregrounds lawmakers narrowly rejecting government proposals and tenant protections. Sky News is the only outlet to mention the forcible eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal, and BBC News uniquely notes that more than 50 protests are taking place.
