El Gobierno reclama a Ayuso 1,7 millones de alquiler por el edificio “ocupado” del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid
Bolaños da a la Comunidad un plazo de dos meses para que arriende el inmueble o lo “abandone de manera inmediata”
Madrid's mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has suggested on Monday that the city should step in to disband the encampment at Puerta del Sol, whereas Madrid's president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, accused the Spanish government of acting "illegally" by failing to stop the situation. The PP-led delegation's interventions against the government's strategy has reignited the institutional confrontation over the right to housing and the protests sparked by the recent eviction of an 80-year-old woman, Maricarmen, who had to leave her apartment in a wheelchair.
Martínez-Almeida claims that the Municipal Police requested help from the National Police to prevent the encampment, but did not receive it. In contrast, the Madrid Government delegation noted on Sunday, the first full day of the encampment, that there is no official information nor direct claim from either the city or the Community to demand the eviction from Puerta del Sol.
"Unless there are disturbances, it is not the responsibility of the National Police to act," explained the delegation head, Francisco Martín.
