Original: spain
Tens of thousands of people across Spain are protesting over the country's housing crisis after the eviction of Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman, in Barcelona. Demonstrators have set up a tent camp to keep pressure on authorities, and her lawyer now says she has been allowed to return to her home. Commentators are framing the case as an example of people power forcing a government climbdown over housing policy.
Why now: News that the evicted woman can return home has amplified a broader wave of anger over Spain's housing crisis.
