The 87-year-old pensioner in Spain whose eviction from her lifelong home sparked nationwide protests has died.

Independent Spanish journalist María Carrión says that although Maricarmen’s story galvanized much of the country, evictions like hers are “a daily occurrence” in Spain.
“Rents have gone up 80% in the last 10 years, while salaries have not kept up,” Carrión says. “Young people cannot leave their homes. They cannot become independent or start families. And this is what people are trying to change from the street.
