Without serious risk to public order or health, the encampment in Sol can continue: why a peaceful protest cannot be evicted

The Spanish Government Delegation in Madrid confirmed on Thursday that it has received formal requests from the Community of Madrid and the city's municipal government to dismantle the protest encampment located at Puerta del Sol. In response, the Delegation maintained that its current management of the situation is procedurally appropriate.

The exchange follows mounting pressure from local and regional authorities to clear the site. By acknowledging the requests while asserting the legality of its ongoing approach, the Delegation has signaled a continuation of its current policy regarding the presence of protesters in the capital's central square.
