Spanish government delegate in Madrid Francisco Martín resigned after a weeks-long protest camp at Puerta del Sol square. He also failed to make the candidate lists of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party for the elections to the Congress of Deputies or the Senate. El Mundo ↗
Martín stated that his decision was also related to the fact that he was not allowed to run for a seat in the Congress of Deputies or the Senate. As a result, he will not have parliamentary immunity at a time when the Vox party has announced its intention to file a lawsuit against him.
In his response, Martín criticized the political obstacles he claims to have faced. "Nos han puesto palos en las ruedas," he stated. In translation, he thereby suggested that certain actors had complicated his further work.
Meanwhile, the protest camp at Puerta del Sol began to be gradually dismantled. Young people are removing tarpaulins and tents, and when clearing the space, they are to leave the square in the same condition it was in before the camp was set up. El Pais ↗
The dismantling of the camp began even before the official announcement of further steps. Details regarding the conclusion of the protest are still being discussed. The developments at Puerta del Sol thus relate not only to the winding down of the street protest, but also to the political consequences for the Madrid government delegate, who will not continue his candidacy for the Spanish parliament.
