87-year-old Spanish pensioner Maricarmen Abascal, whose eviction sparked nationwide housing protests, died. Her death has intensified calls for political action over Spain's housing crisis.

Abascal, evicted from her Madrid home after a 70-year tenure, was transported on a stretcher to an ambulance. Her death has led to protests and a nationwide general strike over housing issues.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called an early election amid ongoing housing protests, as parliament rejected measures to curb evictions and rent pressures. The death has underscored growing public frustration with the housing crisis.

Abascal's death has galvanized public sentiment, with calls for systemic change and renewed political pressure on Spain's government to address the housing crisis.
