The Mesa de la Asamblea opened an expediente sancionador on 6 November 2026 against the MP for Más Madrid, Jimena González, following remarks in the plenary session of the Asamblea de Madrid on 22 October 2026González described the weeks-long protest action at the Puerta del Sol in support of the right to housing as “completely peaceful and civil” and asked, ironically, whether Isabel Díaz Ayuso would prefer the demonstrators to take the “vía francesa” and “enter the Casa de Correos and set it on fire”.
The proceedings follow a written motion by the Partido Popular after the plenary session. The PP considers the wording an incitement to violence against the Real Casa de Correos, the regional government’s headquarters at Puerta del Sol. The Mesa de la Asamblea, the parliament’s governing body, is now examining whether the intervention breached the chamber’s rules and whether it constitutes an offence that can be sanctioned. The Mesa will decide on the type and scale of any possible sanctions once its review is complete, giving written reasons for its decision.
Más Madrid rejects the accusation. The group says the passage was taken out of context and formed part of a response in which González defended the right to strike and the peaceful nature of the protests. It calls for a precise interpretation of her speech in the plenary and for parliamentary immunity to be respected within the legal framework. The Partido Popular counters that even an ironic reference to using violence at an official building crosses a line and warrants consequences. These assessments are drawn from the groups’ public statements and regional media reports.
The dispute reflects the heated climate surrounding the tent protest at Puerta del Sol, which began in late September 2026 and has since prompted legal and political debates about its permissibility, as well as possible police and administrative measures. Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, has repeatedly criticised the protest.
The opening of proceedings is a procedural step; it does not prejudge guilt or a sanction. The process is governed by the provisions of the rules of the Asamblea de Madrid and the decisions of the Mesa de la Asamblea.
