ReportagemApós 70 anos em sua casa em Madri, despejo se transforma em acampamento de protesto por moradiaEscrito 27 de setembro de 2026 às 14:09 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:11An 87-year-old woman's eviction has turned a Madrid Square into an overnight protest0:16camp.0:16Maricarmen Abascal is not confirmed back in the apartment she occupied for about0:20seven decades.0:21Marchers are demanding national housing protections as her representatives prepare0:25for talks with the owner.0:27Can she get home?0:28And will the government act on the protesters' demands?0:30About 500 people were reported at Puerta del Sol on Sunday morning.0:34Tent counts ranged from roughly 100 to nearly 150.0:38Those are estimates of tents, not people.0:41Organizers say they may keep camping for days until the government approves a0:45housing measure they call the Decredo Maricarmen.0:47Saturday's Madrid march drew tens of thousands, but its size is sharply contested.0:51The government estimate is about 25,000, while the tenants' union claims more than0:56300,000.0:57An unidentified speaker also claimed 200,000.1:00That is not a verified count.1:02An earlier protest on Wednesday drew an estimated 10,000.1:05The demonstrations followed Abascal's eviction when hundreds of supporters had1:08gathered outside her building.1:10Police and judicial officials removed a baskal from her Retiro apartment on1:14September 23rd.1:15Medical workers carried her out on a stretcher, and she left by ambulance with1:18social services officials.1:20She has reduced mobility and a reported recognized disability of 50%.1:24She was described as being in hospital on September 26th.1:28Her condition since then has not been established.1:30Her father signed the family's old rent lease in 1956.1:33Her time in the apartment is usually described as about 70 years, though some1:37accounts say 71.1:38The removal followed a court dispute over whether that protected family tenancy1:42could continue not simply a price increase on an unchanged lease.1:46An initial court rejected the owner's attempt to end it.1:48The Madrid Provincial Court reversed that decision, and the Supreme Court made the1:53termination final.1:54Owner Urbogestion says a limit on further succession under the 1994 Urban Leases Act1:59applied.1:59The full reasoning and dates of the judgments have not been established here.2:03A United Nations appeal sought to halt the eviction, and a UN rapporteur later2:07argued the judge should have suspended it.2:09Neither stopped the removal.2:11The claimed rent increases conflict.2:13Abasco described a 230% rise she could not afford after an investment fund bought2:18the apartment.2:18Tenants' representatives and another account put the rise at 275%.2:22Another description says the rent changed by more than five-fold.2:25The monthly figures also fail to match either percentage.2:28One claimed comparison is roughly 500 Euros before and 2,650 Euros afterward2:34against a pension of about 1,000 Euros a month.2:37Herbogestion denies demanding 2,650 Euros.2:40A move from 500 to 2,650 would be a 430% increase, not 2302:46or 275%.2:48Those claims cannot be treated as one settled rent schedule.2:51The exact enforceable new rent has not been established.2:54Erbogestion has since proposed an affordable rent route back for Abascal.2:58One account puts the proposed maximum at 676 Euros a month, but that is neither a3:04signed lease nor a verified final price.3:06The company wanted to use Madrid's Reviva housing program.3:09The municipal housing company, EMVS, rejected that route as presented.3:13Its eligibility rules and applicant pool would not allow the flat to be assigned3:17directly to Abascal.3:18The city offered to mediate instead.3:20Rejecting that program route does not rule out every way home, but no agreement or3:25return has been confirmed.3:27Herbigisteune also denies that the government offered to buy the flat.3:30No public purchase has been shown.3:32The camp is pressing for more than a solution to one tenancy.3:35The tenants' union wants a rent freeze, indefinite rental contracts, rules for3:39short-term and room rentals, and alternative housing before eviction.3:43Organizer Miriam Buett argues that building more homes alone will not protect3:46residents without restraints on speculative investment.3:49She says a new measure could have saved Abascal and warns that failing to pass one3:53on Tuesday would mean abandoning tenants.3:55These are demands, not protections already enacted.3:58Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the eviction a social tragedy.4:02On September 27th, he said his government was working against the clock to bring a4:06housing decree to Tuesday's cabinet meeting.4:08then seek ratification in Congress.4:10His coalition partner, Sumar, is pressing for rent freezes and expropriation of4:15Abascal's former apartment and has threatened to boycott Cabinet if no decree is4:19approved.4:20Minister Felix Bolaños rejected the expropriation demand.4:23Possible provisions under discussion include automatic rental contract renewals and4:27tighter eviction restrictions.4:29The final text, any nationwide freeze and any indefinite lease provision remain4:34unknown.4:34Even Cabinet approval would not secure passage.4:37Sanjez lacks a parliamentary majority.4:39The wider housing pressure is substantial, though the available figures need care.4:44Spanish rents are described as rising 80% over a decade and home prices 63%.4:48Reported government comparisons put social housing at 2.5% of Spain's housing stock4:52versus 14% in France and 34% in the Netherlands.4:56More than 3 million Spanish homes are believed empty.4:58The underlying price series, definition of an empty home, and comparability of the5:03three countries' social housing counts have not been established.5:06Those figures provide context, not a demonstrated cause of Abascal's eviction.5:10The political divide predates this camp.5:13Some People's Party-led regions have declined to implement parts of the 2023 tenant5:17protection and rent control law.5:19Sanjas and Madrid's authorities blame one another over Abascal's case.5:23The city maintains that the eviction followed the law.5:26A proposal for a new decree cannot by itself settle either that dispute or the terms5:31on which she could return.5:32Monday's planned mediation is the next chance to establish whether Abascal can5:37return at what rent and under an enforceable agreement.5:40Tuesday's cabinet meeting is the government's target for a decree, whose contents5:44and later parliamentary fate remain unsettled.5:46As of Sunday, Abascal's return has not been confirmed, and no rent-freeze decree has5:50been approved.Ler o artigoCronologia da
