The Community of Madrid has suffered protests and a camp in Puerta del Sol. Previously there was controversy over the purchase of an attic for Ayuso's office.
The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is currently considering the option of moving her office "temporarily" to other facilities of the regional Executive for "security" reasons after suffering a massive fight on Monday by striking teachers.
A protest that took place in the center of Madrid, a few blocks from Puerta del Sol, where the Community has asked the Government on several occasions to dissolve the "illegal" housing encampment, understanding that it poses a risk not only to property and for whoever is in the square, but also for the workers of the Real Casa de Correos.
Now the Madrid leader's team goes one step further and considers that the headquarters of the Madrid presidency does not currently meet the necessary security conditions to host its functions, and is studying other public spaces for the temporary transfer of the offices housed in the Real Casa de Correos, as reported by Cadena Ser and confirmed by this newspaper.
"At this time, the Real Casa de Correos does not meet the necessary conditions, especially security, to carry out institutional work and different options are being considered in facilities in the Community of Madrid to carry out, on a temporary basis, this work that is normally carried out in Sol," explain sources from the Madrid Executive on this issue, which could be carried out imminently.
The Community of Madrid does not confirm at the moment what these "different options" are being handled at the moment, but it is unofficially stated that the Canal de Isabel II facilities would be capable of express moving of the departments that make up the autonomous Presidency.
The news comes after several months of controversy precisely due to the transfer of Ayuso's office planned for the works to be carried out at the Royal Post Office. Under this idea, the purchase of the questioned luxury penthouse in Chamberí for 6.3 million euros was initially justified.
Finally, and in the face of the scandal unleashed, the Community gave up on moving Ayuso's office to this apartment located on Paseo del General Martínez Campos and decided to put it up for sale, although for now it has not found a buyer.
