Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has expressed condolences following the reported death of María del Carmen Abascal, the 87-year-old woman whose eviction sparked nationwide protests. Maricarmen, as she was known, had been hospitalized after being carried out on a stretcher from her home of seven decades. Her case has drawn tens of thousands of people to the streets in outrage. The prime minister called for early elections after failing to pass measures to address the country’s housing crisis.
