The 65-year-old woman lived alone in a large housing block in the Madrid district of Chamberí since 2014. He had not paid the rent for several months and, after receiving various police warnings, he knew that he would sooner or later be expelled from his home, according to Publi.

On Monday, the Police appeared in his home with a court order to complete the eviction process in which he was arrested. They played the doorbell several times, and when they saw that it didn't open the door, they came in. At that time, the woman threw herself from the fifth floor. Although the health services tried to revive women, it was in vain.

According to the City Council of Madrid, the man lived on a "private" rental apartment, that is, it is not known whether the owner is a private individual or a company. This property was the one that made the police known and nothing else is known since then, as it has gathered ElDiario.es.

15 evictions per day

Members of the STOP evictions platform in the Chamberí district have stated that they were unaware of the situation of women and the situation. Otherwise, as they do with others, they have said that “they would help him in the struggle.”

Along with this case, the members of the platform have brought to light the eviction data of Madrid. In this city 15 people are evicted every day, and in this 2018 the number is already approaching three thousand. In the case of the Spanish State, there are about 100 redundancies a day. Last year, a total of 35,666 families and individuals were evicted.
