A Madrid family of six, including three minor children, is facing eviction on June 26th despite a request from the United Nations to halt the process. The family, identified as Zaira and her husband, are considered vulnerable and currently lack alternative housing options. The eviction is being pursued by the Madrid Social Housing Agency. The family’s plea is not for exemption from rent, but for an affordable rental agreement aligned with their income. Advocates argue the eviction disregards the family’s precarious situation and the UN’s intervention. The agency has not publicly responded to the UN’s request or the family’s circumstances. This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding housing insecurity and the rights of vulnerable families in Madrid.
