The death of Maricarmen Abascal at 87 years old marks the political news this Thursday. The woman had remained admitted to the Gregorio Marañón Hospital since she was evicted on September 23 from the Retiro home where she had lived for nearly 70 years.
His death has provoked reactions inside and outside the Government. Pedro Sánchez, Salvador Illa, Óscar Puente, Isabel Rodríguez, Irene Montero, Ione Belarra or Joan Baldoví They are among the leaders who have spoken out in recent hours.
The news brought the housing protests to Congress again last night. Those camped at Puerta del Sol They marched along the Carrera de San Jerónimo to the vicinity of the Lower Housewhere participants lit candles in memory of Maricarmen.
Everything also happens with the pending matches of the general elections on November 29. Housing, the measures promoted in recent weeks and the political consequences of the Maricarmen case thus return to the center of the debate as the appointment with the polls approaches.
