Her case highlighted mounting pressure on long-term tenants in major cities and \u200btourist hotspots, where soaring rents, gentrification and a shortage of affordable housing have fuelled social and political \u200bunrest.The Misinformation Monitor newsletter rounds up international misinformation narratives, with a \"Real or Fake?\" quiz in every edition.

Faced with the protest, court officials agreed to postpone his eviction for at least 10 days.Gonzalez said he has paid rent on time for more than \u200b17 years, despite the property changing hands among investment funds, but after a legal \u200bdispute lasting nearly \u2060a decade the courts ultimately backed the owner.The public outcry over last week's eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen Abascal in Madrid led to a deal with her landlord, property firm Urbagestion, to let her stay in the apartment with unchanged rent. She \u2060remains \u200bin hospital following the eviction but is expected to return home in \u200bthe coming days.Urbagestion's co-owner, Ricardo Alonso, told newspaper El Economista he and his partner had faced a pressure campaign over the eviction, citing the \u200bdelivery of a box containing live cockroaches.Reporting by David Latona and Guillermo Mart\u00ednez; Editing by Andrei Khalip and Gareth JonesOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tabSuggested Topics:WorldHuman RightsPurchase Licensing RightsDavid LatonaThomson ReutersMadrid-raised German-American breaking news in Spain and Portugal.
