Dozens of people continue camping out for third day in a row in Puerta del Sol, a key point for tourism and daily life, demanding that the national and local governments take measures to guarantee the population's access to housing. The protest began on Saturday, September 26, after a massive march, following the anger caused by the eviction of Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman who has become the emblem of this movement. Initially called by the Sindicato de Inquilinas (Tenants' Union), the protest has brought together students, teachers and various unions, who are demanding that Pedro Sanchez's government adopt a decree this Tuesday, September 29, that includes measures such as freezing rental prices and automatically extending rental contracts, among other actions.
