Ayuso's Office Moves Amid Protests and Unclear Renovation Plans

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has been forced to relocate her office operations after a massive encampment of protestors occupied Plaza de Sol, disrupting access to the Real Casa de Correos. Police cordoned off the main entrance, permitting staff to enter through adjacent streets, while officials complained of noise and harassment. Advisors indicated that the security situation made the plaza unsuitable for official business, prompting a search for alternative rooms in other government facilities.

Over the following days, the council met in an unexpected venue at Canal, and Ayuso met Argentine President Javier Milei there, not at the traditional headquarters. Her team has signaled that future meetings will be held wherever conditions allow, leaving her workplace effectively mobile.
