Spain's government has announced a package of housing measures after the eviction of an 87-year-old woman in Madrid triggered protests over the country's housing crisis. The proposals include a possible extension of eviction protections until 2030, renewed rental contracts through 2028 and tighter rules for short-term lets. The plans still need parliamentary approval, with critics arguing they could unfairly affect small property owners. The woman, Maricarmen Abascal, has reportedly reached an agreement that could allow her to return home, though she has yet to sign it.
