Clashes between the Ayuso Government and the Delegation over limiting access to the mountains during the eclipse
Francisco Martín asks citizens to go to one of the 66 official observation points, to plan ahead and to arrive with plenty of time.
The Madrid government (PP) has rejected the mobility restrictions proposed by the regional delegation, led by Francisco Martín (PSOE), ahead of the solar eclipse. Martín had called for the restrictions to prevent wildfires and ensure safety on the day of the celestial event. The Madrid government, however, has countered with the existing initiatives, plans, and reinforcements already in place, and an invitation to the delegation to take action if necessary.
The delegation, responsible for policing and the Guardia Civil in the region, explained to a source that to enforce additional controls, the regional government must issue an "express prohibition."
