Maite Rodríguez

Maite Rodríguez is a 53-year-old activist and member of the association Verdad y Justicia, advocating for justice for the elderly who died in Madrid nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. After losing her mother, Petra Gadea, in April 2020, Maite has become increasingly vocal about the injustices faced by families of residents who were denied hospital care. Recently, she gained public attention following a controversial tweet from Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, an aide to the President of Madrid, which questioned her mother's residency status. Maite’s commitment to seeking accountability for the loss of her mother and the treatment of elderly individuals during the pandemic has made her a significant voice in ongoing discussions about healthcare and elder rights.
