Maricarmen Abascal is a determined(坚定的) woman who uses a wheelchair to get around(四处走动). She has needed her determination over the years she has spent fighting the real estate company that forced her out of her Madrid apartment last week.(过去这些年，她一直在与那家上周把她赶出马德里公寓的房地产公司抗争，这期间她正需要这份坚定。) She had lived in the flat(公寓) for more than 70 of her 87 years.
马里卡门·阿瓦斯卡尔是一位意志坚定的女性，出行需依靠轮椅。过去这些年，她一直在与那家房地产公司抗争，正是这家公司上周把她赶出了马德里的公寓。她87年的人生中，有70多年是在那套公寓里度过的。
Police forced their way into her apartment after a judge approved Abascal’s eviction(驱逐). By then, protesters had gathered around the building, including the actor Carlos Bardem(西班牙演员，哈维尔·巴登之弟), Javier’s brother. Teargas was used against them. Abascal was taken to a Madrid hospital, suffering from anxiety and extreme exhaustion(极度疲惫), while her supporters chanted: “You are not alone.”
法官批准驱逐阿瓦斯卡尔后，警察强行闯入她的公寓。那时，抗议者已经聚集在楼外，其中包括演员卡洛斯·巴登——哈维尔·巴登的弟弟。警方对抗议者使用了催泪瓦斯。阿瓦斯卡尔因焦虑和极度疲惫被送往马德里一家医院，而她的支持者高喊着：“你并不孤单。”
Demonstrations of solidarity(团结、声援) with her and “all the other Maricarmens” have since erupt(爆发)ed across Spain, with protest encampments springing up at Puerta del Sol(马德里太阳门广场) square in Madrid as well as in Bilbao and Málaga.
此后，声援她以及“所有其他马里卡门”的示威活动在西班牙各地爆发，马德里太阳门广场以及毕尔巴鄂和马拉加都出现了抗议营地。
