Police evicted an 87-year-old woman from her apartment in Madrid's Retiro district after an investment fund increased her rent more than fivefold, from €500 to €2,650 per month. The eviction, which was the fourth attempt, occurred despite a pending court filing and humanitarian appeals. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the building during the removal.
