The Delegación del Gobierno opposes the eviction of the Sol camp
The institution argues that an intervention could increase security risks, while the TSJM considers the request from the Comunidad de Madrid.
The Delegación del Gobierno has filed objections against the removal of the housing protest camp set up in Puerta del Sol. In its submission to the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid, it argues that clearing the square could create more security problems than it aims to prevent.
The Abogacía del Estado, representing the Delegación, warns that an intervention might require the use of force and pose risks to protesters, buildings, and urban furniture. These arguments respond to the regional government's request to end the protest through precautionary measures.
The TSJM has already refused to order an immediate eviction without first hearing the other side. The court noted that dissolving a gathering should be a last resort and that any action must be proportionate, especially given its potential impact on the right to assemble.
The camp has remained in Sol since the end of September. After receiving the objections, the court will have to rule on the request for precautionary measures submitted by the Comunidad de Madrid.
