Madrid court suspends eviction of activist Paca Blanco

A Madrid court has granted a 60-day suspension of the eviction of activist Paca Blanco. Blanco has resided in a property managed by the Municipal Housing and Land Company (EMVS) for over ten years, following the departure of her son, the original contract holder.

Despite her efforts to regularize her status and her consistent payment of rent, Blanco has faced difficulties in obtaining a contract subrogation from the Madrid City Council. Activist groups, including Ecologistas en Acción and the Tenants Union, attribute the temporary reprieve to collective social pressure rather than institutional policy changes.
