Housing protest camp in Madrid enters second night

Original: Cost of housing protest camp enters second night. Demonstrators set up tents in Madrid to demand action to lower housing

Demonstrators have set up tents in Madrid for a second night, demanding government action to lower housing costs and strengthen tenant protections. The protest movement was triggered by last week's police eviction of an 87-year-old woman from the apartment she had lived in all her life. Spain's housing affordability crisis has fuelled growing public anger, and the images of the elderly woman's eviction have become a rallying point for demonstrators.

Why now: The eviction of an 87-year-old woman from her lifelong Madrid home has sparked outrage and mobilised protests over Spain's housing crisis.
