The central Metro station of Sol in Madrid, recognized as one of the most frequented and congested in the capital, remains closed following a closure initiated on Friday. Regional authorities of the Community of Madrid have mandated that the station will not reopen until it is officially certified that necessary conditions of "safety and health" and salubridad are fully met.
The closure is a direct consequence of unsanitary conditions derived from a housing protest camp that has been maintained in Puerta del Sol for three weeks. Cleanup operations at the site concluded at two in the morning, but the station remains shut as officials await verification that the required health and safety standards have been properly restored before allowing public access.
