87-Year-Old Evicted From Madrid Flat After 71 Years

Maricarmen Abascal, 87, was evicted 23 September 2026 from her Retiro, Madrid flat, home for 71 years. The judicial commission — officials who enforce court orders — acted on its fourth attempt; she left on a stretcher for an ambulance. Her father first rented it in 1956. Hundreds gathered outside to try to block the eviction.
