The court promises to find a solution for Maricarmen, but reminds everyone: Congress overturned the eviction ban.

Carlos Cuerpo, the Spanish Minister of Economy and First Vice President, has pledged to continue efforts to find a resolution for Maricarmen, an 87-year-old woman facing eviction from her long-term residence in the Retiro district of Madrid. Maricarmen has lived in the property for seven decades, and her case has drawn public attention regarding housing security for vulnerable citizens.

In addressing the situation, Cuerpo emphasized the need for ongoing work to secure a solution. While acknowledging the complexity of the case, he noted the legislative context surrounding evictions, specifically highlighting that the Spanish Congress previously rejected a proposed ban on such measures. Despite these legislative constraints, Cuerpo has expressed a commitment to pursuing a resolution rather than citing the current legal framework as an excuse for inaction.
