00:00A vigil was held for 87-year-old Maria del Carmen Abascal in the Spanish capital after news of her
00:06passing was announced late on Wednesday.
00:09Madi Carmen, whose eviction from her longtime Madrid apartment sparked a national political crisis over affordable housing, died in hospital
00:17according to her lawyer, though the cause was not disclosed.
00:21Her eviction ordeal triggered nationwide anti-government protests demanding more tenant protections.
00:28Protesters, who've gathered in large numbers daily, place the responsibility of her death on the government.
01:15Protesters say the news of her passing is especially painful, but a vow to stay committed to the cause to
01:20uphold her legacy and ensure her death will not be in vain.
01:23Well, it's a lot of shame. I think it's what we all share. It's a lot of shame.
01:28And, above all, thinking that it's the cause, the head of all this revolution that has happened and that it
01:36can't be seen.
01:38It's a lot of shame. It can't be seen if something comes out, if there's any result of everything that
01:43she has fought.
01:45That's what I'm really proud of. It's a lot of shame.
01:49Under intense domestic pressure, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for a snap election on 29 November,

01:59His government also passed close to two dozen emergency housing measures on Wednesday to address the crisis.
02:06He will be Banff Alright Fire.
