Conchi Lafraya

Conchi Lafraya is a journalist based in Madrid. Recent news articles indicate she is actively reporting on pressing social issues within the city. Specifically, she has covered the case of an 84-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease who was facing expulsion from a nursing home (Bouco Carabanchel), a decision that was later reversed following intervention from the Consejería de Asuntos Sociales. Lafraya also reported on the attempted eviction of residents from small, repurposed storage spaces (less than 10 meters) in Puente de Vallecas, which are now being used as residential units. These spaces, referred to as "local de hospedaje," are facing eviction due to their conversion into tourist accommodations. Lafraya's reporting highlights the challenges faced by vulnerable populations in Madrid, including the elderly and those living in precarious housing situations, and the impact of housing policies and social services.
