Watch: mass Madrid protests over Maricarmen eviction and housing crisis

Protesters in Madrid have taken to the streets for a second night, camping in the city's main square, Puerta del Sol, in response to the eviction of 87-year-old María del Carmen Abascal, also known as "Maricarmen". This event has sparked widespread outrage and is now a focal point for a larger housing crisis in the city. The housing crisis is a significant concern for the economy, as it can lead to increased poverty, reduced consumer spending, and potential social unrest.

Why it matters

Mass protests are taking place in Madrid over the housing crisis, which may lead to further unrest and affect the country's stability. The government's response to the protests will be crucial in determining the outcome.
