Forum question: Which celebrity will offer a flat to the evicted woman?
Solidarity with the evicted elderly woman in Madrid can be shown, according to a forum user, with a tweet, a photo, and four sentences. In the thread, she is referred to as Paquita and also as Antonia, after the eviction in Madrid and the police intervention made the case a current affair. And an uncomfortable question was posed on social media: what's the point of support if none of those who sign it offer her a flat?
How many properties are attributed to the named celebrities?
The case has peine the inventory. Wyoming is attributed 19 properties, and the properties attributed to Ana Belén, Irene Montero and her partner, and Bardem are also mentioned. The argument is repeated with a sneer: those who accumulate so many flats could give one away without batting an eyelid. One user suggests, as an example, offering a flat in a good area for 400 euros a month.
The UIP and the political use of evictions
While some are asking for flats, the police union JUPOL defended the professionalism of the UIP during the eviction on Cuatro and denounced the political exploitation of the evicted woman. The accusation points in the opposite direction: the problem would not be the lack of solidarity from celebrities, but the interest in capitalizing on the case.
The question remains unanswered by any tweet. What happens to Paquita the day the cameras turn off and the next eviction makes headlines?
