Spain's housing crisis erupts: 500,000 demand action after eviction of 87-year-old
'This can't go on': thousands protest against housing crisis in Spain
Tens of thousands marched in Madrid and 50 other Spanish cities after parliament rejected measures to curb evictions and regulate rents. Organizers claimed 500,000 protesters; police said 70,000. The protests were sparked by the eviction of an 87-year-old woman facing a 230% rent hike. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez may call a snap election as anger over housing costs reshapes politics.
It only proves that it is us, the people, who have to adapt to the political parties, and not the politicians to what the people want, and this can't go on like that.
