Following the death of Maricarmen Abascal—who became a symbol of the struggle for dignified housing—a political clash has erupted in Spain over her legacy and the issue of housing. Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Partido Popular, accused Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the PSOE of attempting to manipulate citizens regarding housing in the wake of her death, warning that "it won't fly."
Additional figures from the Partido Popular, including Madrid Mayor José Luis Martínez Almeida, further criticized the national government. Almeida accused the administration of permitting Abascal's eviction and attempting to appropriate her memory, noting that she had previously sought help from the government by letter in 2025. Concurrently, other PP officials urged that her death not be used as an electoral decoy, arguing that the government had failed to act on her behalf while she was alive.
