The Community assures that there are activists linked to terrorism in the Sol camp

The Minister of Environment, Agriculture and Interior of Madrid, Carlos Novillo, asked the Government Delegation for information this Saturday on whether in the Puerta del Sol camp there are "people linked to organizations with alleged links to others classified as terrorists by different countries and international organizations." This is stated in the letter sent by Novillo to the Government delegate, Francisco Martín, from whom he requests information about the possible presence of “radical groups” in the Puerta del Sol encampment, a place that, in his opinion, has to be “lifted.” Novillo claims to have been aware, through various public information and communications received by his Ministry, of the possible presence and participation in the camp of people "linked to organizations with alleged links to others classified as terrorists by different countries and international organizations, which have expressed their concern about the activities of these entities." Likewise, according to the text, the counselor tells Martín that "without prejudice to the political or ideological assessments" that these events may raise, the regional government considers it obligatory to express its concern about any circumstance that could pose a "risk to citizen security, the protection of democratic institutions or the normal provision of public services." As stated in its letter, Puerta del Sol houses the headquarters of the Presidency of the Community of Madrid and constitutes a space of special institutional relevance, through which authorities, public employees and thousands of citizens pass daily. Therefore, for the regional Government, the possible presence of people or groups related to “extremist or radical organizations” requires, in its opinion, “special” attention from the State Security Forces and Bodies.
