Many people protest in Madrid. Between 25,000 and 300,000 people are there. They want a home for all. The trigger is a case of Maricarmen. The woman is 87 years old. She lives for 70 years in her flat. Then a firm buys the house. The firm ends her rental agreement. On Wednesday she must leave the flat. Maricarmen goes to a hospital after that. Her body is weak.
The people are angry at the politics. They blame the government for the housing crisis. The protesters build tents on a big square. They want low rent. The rental agreements must last longer. A politician wants the expropriation of flats. The state takes the flats from firms. Then the flats are cheap for all.
The government plans a new law. The law comes on Tuesday. It protects people from forced evictions. A forced eviction means people must leave their home against their will. But the government needs enough votes in parliament. People protest in 11 other cities in Spain too. The people fight for their homes.
