Madrid police have warned that a left-wing encampment in the city's Puerta del Sol square has been taken over by operatives from Samidoun, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the United States, Germany, and Canada. Samidoun is known for fundraising for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Palestinian terrorist organization. The group previously distributed sweets in Berlin on October 7 and led a campaign against the Vuelta a España cycling race due to Israel's participation last year.
According to the newspaper "El Diario," prominent figures from the "Tenants Union," who initially led the housing protest, have left the encampment. It is now reportedly controlled by dangerous radical left-wing groups, primarily Samidoun. The pro-Israel organization ACOM has filed lawsuits against Samidoun for events that glorified the October 7 massacre, with charges including glorifying terrorism and disrespecting victims.
The situation in Puerta del Sol has escalated to the point where police officers and journalists have been attacked by individuals within the encampment. Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of the Community of Madrid, filed a formal complaint with the prosecutor's office, demanding an investigation into assaults and damage to public property. She asserts these actions constitute criminal offenses, including threats, defamation, hate crimes, and property damage, exacerbated by gender and political ideology aspects.
The Spanish police union "Jupol" has recently raised concerns about the shift in the encampment's nature. Laura García, a spokesperson for the union, described a severe incident last Monday night where municipal police officers were forced to barricade themselves inside a building due to an attack and required reinforcements from the National Police.
