Madrid's Barajas Airport faces a growing crisis as around 500 homeless individuals seek refuge in its terminals daily.

AENA, the airport operator, has called for urgent action, urging local and national authorities to provide housing solutions.

Tensions have risen between AENA, the Madrid City Council, and the Spanish government, with each blaming the other for inaction.

While AENA recently coordinated a similar eviction at Barcelona's El Prat Airport, no such measures are planned for Barajas yet.

Talks continue, but disagreements over jurisdiction and responsibility have stalled progress.

The situation highlights the broader challenge of addressing homelessness in public spaces.
