The death of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal, two weeks after her eviction from her Madrid home, has brought Spain’s housing crisis into sharper focus ahead of a general election at the end of November. The Sánchez government has proposed emergency housing measures, which rightwing and far-right parties rejected, and redrafted them as new decrees. People’s Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo accused Sánchez of claiming the housing mantle too late.
