When the Spanish Government Focuses Where It Suits Them: First-Class and Second-Class Victims

The case of a 91-year-old woman whose home was occupied by squatters receiving more than her pension did not receive the same media attention as other cases, suggesting a possible political bias in victim support.

## The Case of Isabel, the Forgotten Owner

A **91-year-old** woman, identified as **Isabel**, suffered the occupation of her home for **four years**. The ordeal recently ended, but the impact of her case is far from that of other similar situations. During all that time, **Isabel** could not access her home, a fundamental right denied to her.

## A Minimum Income Benefit Exceeding the Pension

The occupants of **Isabel**'s home, of Segarro nationality, received a **Minimum Income Benefit** of **1,309.25 euros** per month. This amount, verified by the **Social Security**, was higher than the pension the owner received. The situation became more complicated when the squatters claimed a supposed state of vulnerability, which hindered eviction processes.

## Why the Difference in Media Coverage?

The question arises given the disparity in attention. While other cases of elderly people with high social and political mobilization have made headlines and generated protests, **Isabel**'s situation has barely come to light. The key seems to lie in the selective focus of information, where political interest might take precedence over the intrinsic severity of each case.
