Madrid housing protesters establish tent city in Puerta del Sol

Protesters in Madrid have established a large-scale encampment in the Puerta del Sol to demand affordable housing and the right to dignified living conditions. The protest, which has now lasted two weeks, has evolved into a structured ‘city of tents’ featuring designated areas for a pharmacy and a cafeteria, with even named ‘streets’ to help residents navigate the site.

The movement originated from demonstrations against evictions and is expected to continue through November. The encampment has drawn international attention, drawing comparisons to the 15-M movement from fifteen years ago. The social unrest highlights growing tensions regarding housing accessibility and the impact of evictions on vulnerable populations.
