In a surprising turn of events, the residents of Manzanares el Real have learned that the Duque del Infantado Park will no longer be public, following a successful eviction lawsuit by Almudena de Arteaga against the local council.

The park, a cherished green space for the community, was originally donated by Arteaga's grandfather in 1975. However, a recent court ruling has returned the land to the aristocracy, sparking outrage among locals.

Many residents, including children, gathered in protest, lamenting the loss of their beloved recreational area.

The local government, led by Mayor Jose Luis Labrador, has faced criticism for a lack of transparency throughout the legal proceedings.

Efforts to negotiate a new location for the park are underway, but the proposed site has been met with dissatisfaction from the community.
