Images of María del Carmen Abascal, known as Maricarmen, being evicted from her home in Madrid have become the latest symbol of Spain's housing crisis.
The 87-year-old woman had been renting the property for around 70 years. According to the Madrid Tenants' Union, following a change of ownership there was a proposed rent increase from about 500 euros to 2,650 euros a month, later reduced to 1,650.
