Fact check
“Demonstrators demanded greater tenant protection.”
Reasoning
The provided France 24 articles report that thousands marched in Madrid after the eviction of an 87‑year‑old woman, and explicitly note that the demonstrators were calling for greater tenant protection and measures to curb rising housing costs.
On confidence: Multiple primary news excerpts directly state that demonstrators demanded greater tenant protection.
Important context
The claim pertains to the specific protest in Madrid reported on 26‑09‑2026, not to all demonstrations globally.
