Forum Comments Place Elderly Women Evictions Hitting Headlines in Madrid
The media spotlight on evictions has shifted again, and again to Madrid. Now it's Paquita, 83 years old. The question many are asking is simple: why do the cases of elderly people being evicted who end up on the front page always share the same city? Some argue that the pattern is not new.
Why Are Evictions of Elderly Women That Make Headlines From Madrid?
A coincidence is repeated in the forum: elderly person, property in Madrid, immediate media coverage. Some argue that the selection criterion is not statistical but political.
The Mix-Up with Names and the Shadow of the Agenda
The noise also reached the names. According to a forum comment, Carlos Bardem appeared on the public address, with a mix-up that fueled confusion: Paquita for Mari Carmen. There is also suspicion, fueled in the forum, that these issues serve to set the agenda while other fronts — nursing homes, the situation in Ceuta — remain in the background.
A forum comment also points out that all the nursing homes were in Madrid.
