- Pilar Trinidad was appointed delegate of the Government, taking over the position of Francisco Martín Aguirre, in the Council of Ministers on October 27.
The delegate of the Government of Spain in Madrid, Pilar Trinidad Núñez, has today begun the usual round of institutional meetings after her appointment at the Council of Ministers on October 27.
Pilar Trinidad Núñez takes over from Francisco Martín Aguirre at the head of the Government Delegation in Madrid, where she served as a sub-delegate since December 2023.
The government delegate has held her first institutional meeting at the Real Casa de Correos with the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the new councilor for the Environment, Agriculture and Interior, Jorge Rodrigo Domínguez.
The meeting has taken place in a cordial manner and both have agreed on the necessary understanding and dialogue between the institutions they represent. They have been able to review matters that concern both administrations.
The delegate has communicated the details of the recent dismantling of the camping at the Puerta del Sol and has highlighted that this intervention completes a process of gradual action developed since the beginning of the camping, on September 26.
During this time, the action of the Government Delegation in Madrid has focused on ensuring the peaceful exercise of fundamental rights, protecting people and property, and recovering the ordinary use of space.
For all the above, the new delegate has communicated that the work of the Delegation since the beginning of the camp has always been subject to the current legal system. In the understanding and respect of all the administrative judicial actions that arise, which are part of the framework of the ordinary legal relationship between administrations, it has transferred, however, its institutional, legal and ethical obligation to request the Government of the Community of Madrid to withdraw the criminal actions announced against the previous government delegate, understanding that they lack support and justification.
