Ayuso's government opposes the encampment for the right to housing: gives the Government delegate 48 hours to evict the Sol encampment

Miguel Ángel García Martín, Minister of Presidency, Justice and Local Administration and spokesman for the regional government, reported this Tuesday that he has sent a formal request to the Government delegate, Francisco Martín, giving him a period of 48 hours to disband the anti-eviction and housing encampment set up in Puerta del Sol.

A direct warning from the Royal House of the Post Office

From the Real Casa de Correos, García Martín argues that the situation cannot continue and has warned that, if the request is not met, the regional government will take legal action. "Impunity, illegality, disorder cannot continue to run rampant in Puerta del Sol. And that is why we have just sent a formal request to the Government delegate so that within a maximum period of 48 hours he gives the appropriate instructions to clear Puerta del Sol," he stated.

The minister insisted on the need to protect this building, with more than 250 years of history and cataloged as an Asset of Cultural Interest, from what he described as "vandalic acts" recorded in recent days, including "graffiti, trash, and urine."

Possible contentious-administrative appeal and criminal actions

García Martín specified that, if the Government delegate does not respond to the request, they will file the corresponding contentious-administrative appeal, with a request for precautionary measures, before the competent judicial body, and will reserve "the right to undertake any type of legal action, including criminal actions."

The spokesman for the regional government stressed that since last Saturday, Madrid residents have been "suffering an illegal encampment" in Puerta del Sol, after the eviction of Maricarmen, a situation that, he said, has occurred "with the complicity" of the Government delegate and without him or the Ministry of Interior doing "absolutely nothing to prevent it."
