Madrid regional government seeks alternative headquarters due to Sol protests

The Community of Madrid's regional government is seeking alternative locations to conduct institutional activities due to security concerns and ongoing works at its official headquarters, the Real Casa de Correos in Puerta del Sol.

Alfonso Serrano, Secretary General of the People's Party in Madrid, stated that the current environment at the headquarters does not meet the necessary security conditions for institutional work. This is attributed to an illegal encampment that has been situated in the Sol area for several weeks, which officials claim has negatively impacted local commerce and public transit.

While the regional government spokesperson, Miguel Ángel García Martín, noted that the recent relocation of the Governing Council to Canal de Isabel II facilities was partly due to planned renovations—including roof replacements and courtyard improvements—he acknowledged that the surrounding situation has forced the administration to rethink the location of future institutional events.
