Pilar Cataño

Pilar Cataño is a 77-year-old retiree who joined the recent housing protests in Spain, expressing solidarity with younger generations struggling to achieve independence due to soaring housing costs. Cataño's advocacy stems from her concern for vulnerable populations, including the elderly, who are at risk of eviction without adequate protections. She criticizes the current housing legislation in Spain as ineffective, arguing that it favors real estate funds over the rights of tenants and homeowners, and emphasizes that access to housing should be recognized as a fundamental right.
