Fact check
“Demonstrators demanded greater tenant protection.”
Reasoning
The France 24 articles report that thousands marched in Madrid after the eviction of an 87‑year‑old woman, with protesters chanting and holding banners calling for measures to curb housing costs and make evictions more difficult, explicitly stating they demanded greater tenant protection.
On confidence: Both primary sources directly state that demonstrators demanded greater tenant protection.
Important context
The protests were triggered by a specific eviction case and are linked to broader concerns about Spain's housing crisis ahead of upcoming elections.
