Sol's campers march towards Congress after the death of Maricarmen: "Murderers!" and "Shame, shame"

Maricarmen, the 87-year-old woman evicted at the end of September from the apartment in the Salamanca neighborhood where she had lived for almost seven decades, died this afternoon.

The news reached Puerta del Sol when there had not yet been time for the duel to find its place. Before the sadness could become silence, it became an angry shout. About 200 people have left the camp and walked towards Congress.

In Sol, like an improvised vigil, they sang "Madrid has woken up, we are going to fight it." Later, already in the San Jerónimo race, the voice has ceased to be song and has become a dry roar - too brutal to be confused with the echo of the street - repeated by several hundred throats. "What happened with Maricarmen was not a death, it was a murder. Murderers!" and "Shame, shame!"

His anger and dismay leaves no space between one scream and another. Even more so when they point out those they consider their enemies: rentierism and the political class. "Rentistas, you are the terrorists," they chant before their statement collides with Sánchez and his Executive.

"Where is the progressive government?" they cry out and demonstrate with these gestures that Maricarmen's death will not be, for now, the end of a fight in which, above all, young people are putting their bodies and tearing their throats to achieve what they believe is right. A social struggle that, for the moment, seems to have caused an electoral advance for the 29N after the failure in Congress of the two decree laws.
