Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old Spanish pensioner whose removal from her home prompted nationwide protests, has died, a union has said.
Abascal was forcibly evicted from the apartment where she had lived for more than 70 years. The removal took place in September, with the pensioner taken from the property on a stretcher.
The circumstances surrounding the eviction were not provided in the available material. However, the incident drew widespread attention and led to protests across Spain.
Abascal’s death was announced by the union involved in the case. No further details about when she died or the events leading up to her death were available.
