Spaniards protest evictions on lawmakers’ doors

A man in a white wedding dress flanked by two others in striped prison uniforms is outside the office of a Spanish lawmaker, pushing for changes to the country’s tough eviction laws.

The unusual-looking protest is the latest in a wave of such demonstrations -- dubbed “escraches”, the Argentine slang word for denunciation -- staged outside the homes or workplaces of lawmakers from Spain’s ruling conservative Popular Party in recent weeks by campaigners who blame the eviction laws for forcing hundreds of thousands of people from their homes during a deep recession.
