Dramatic eviction of woman aged 87 highlights Spain's housing shortage
A representative of tenants' organisation Sindicato de Inquilinas shouted at the police through a megaphone: "Think for 10 seconds about Maricarmen, who could be your own grandmother.""There is a police deployment as if this were a military operation," said Beatriz Duro, Maricarmen's lawyer. "This is the fourth time [they've tried to evict her] but the first time they've come right to the door of the property. It's completely disproportionate."In June, the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights called for the pensioner's eviction to be halted and for her to be offered affordable alternative accommodation.
