The [Community of Madrid](<https://spainnews.co.uk/entity/community-of-madrid-q5756>) has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Government Delegation to evict a protest camp in [Puerta del Sol](<https://spainnews.co.uk/entity/puerta-del-sol-q427163>). Installed on Saturday, 26 September 2026, the site now hosts hundreds of people in tents outside the historic [Real Casa de Correos](<https://spainnews.co.uk/entity/royal-house-of-the-post-office-q9067027>).

Minister [Miguel Ángel García Martín](<https://spainnews.co.uk/entity/miguel-angel-garcia-martin-q107551082>) confirmed the regional government will file a contentious-administrative appeal and seek precautionary judicial measures if action is not taken. Officials reported graffiti and garbage thrown at the 250-year-old headquarters.

The occupation follows a housing rights demonstration linked to the **Tenants' Union**. Protesters demand the 'Maricarmen decree' after the eviction of an 87-year-old Retiro resident, highlighting the escalating tension between activists and Madrid authorities.
