Eviction of 87-year-old woman destabilized Sánchez's government and may now help him in elections

The eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid last month triggered public outrage and contributed to destabilizing Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's government. Paradoxically, the case has also given him an electoral platform based on defending housing rights. Sánchez is pledging action to protect tenants, betting that the housing crisis will attract voters ahead of the coming election.
