World 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 50m ago

The Permanent Diputación of the Congress will observe a minute of silence in memory of Maricarmen Abascal, an 87-year-old woman who passed away following an eviction. The tribute is scheduled to take place during the body's meeting on Friday, October 16, where it will debate the validation of two decree-laws.

In contrast, the Senate, the Assembly of Madrid, and the Madrid City Council—institutions where the Partido Popular (PP) holds majorities—have voted to reject holding a similar minute of silence to honor Abascal, whose eviction had previously sparked public demonstrations and mobilization.
