Protesters gathered in Madrid after an 87-year-old woman was evicted from her home, turning the case into a flashpoint over Spain's housing crisis. Demonstrations and an encampment followed, with campaigners denouncing rising rents and weak protections for vulnerable tenants as the story draws national and international attention.
Why now: Anger over Spain's deepening housing affordability crisis has made the elderly woman's eviction a rallying point for protesters.
