Description
Officers closed off much of the Spanish capital's emblematic Puerta del Sol square on Tuesday morning as municipal cleaning staff swept away remaining debris, tents and tarpaulin, AFP reporters saw.
The Madrid camp sprang up in September, after Spain's chronic housing crisis burst into the centre of public debate following the eviction of an 87-year-old pensioner from her lifelong Madrid home.
The eviction sparked nationwide protests against runaway housing costs and a lack of tenant protections, with tens of thousands of demonstrators hitting the streets.
