08.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Sol Marched for Maricarmen
⌨

Maricarmen, 87, evicted in Madrid two weeks earlier, moved from vigil to political confrontation. The Sol encampment vowed 'no more Maricarmens' and marched in the evening from Puerta del Sol to her former home, with thousands attending under tenants' union call. The PP blocked minutes of silence in the Madrid Assembly, City Council and Senate, provoking shouting in the Assembly over 'no habrá paz en las calles.' Feijóo accused Sánchez of emotional manipulation while the government embraced her as symbol of a plebiscitary 29-N vote on housing ahead of the 11 November strike.

Judge Biedma testified at the Audiencia Nacional that PSOE 'sewers' sought to harm her and surveilled her daughters' school, as Anti-corruption saw indicia against the PSOE but called party imputation premature.

Ada Colau offered to head a single Frente Amplio ballot if it united the left including Podemos.
