Alcorcón

Alcorcón is a municipality near Madrid, Spain. It's currently newsworthy due to several ongoing developments. Firstly, the mayor of Alcorcón, Candelaria Testa, is requesting the application of Article 155 of the Constitution to the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, citing a failure to address housing issues in the region. This action highlights concerns about regional housing policy. Secondly, the Alcorcón fire department is in the final stages of integrating into the Community of Madrid's fire service, marking the end of its independent status outside of Madrid capital.
