Housing crisis and eviction tensions in Spain
Overview
The housing crisis in Spain has become a focal point of social and political tension, highlighted by the influence of vulture funds and the struggles of vulnerable residents. The HBO series ‘Ravalear’ has brought attention to these issues, mirroring real-world mobilizations.
One significant catalyst for public protest involved the case of Mari Carmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman in Madrid who faced eviction after 70 years in her home due to price increases by new owners. Although the eviction was withdrawn following social mobilization, Abascal later passed away in the hospital.
In Tarragona, further tensions have emerged regarding the imminent eviction of long-term tenants in the Riera de Gaià area. This case has sparked debate over social vulnerability and whether public support and visibility are distributed equitably across different social profiles and ethnicities during housing crises.
