Here is a link to the RAE stating that the accent mark on "solo" and on the demonstratives (este, esta, and so on) are not to be used from now on.

The recommendation is clearly NOT putting accent marks on these words under any situation.

Por eso, a partir de ahora se podrá prescindir de la tilde en estas formas
incluso en casos de ambigüedad.
La recomendación general es, pues, la deno tildar nunca estas palabras.

The Spanish "y" sounds like that when it comes before a vowel (compare "yo" and "ayudar" with "muy," "hoy," and "hay").

There are no accents on demonstrative adjectives, for example the word "this" should be "esta".

It's a demonstrative pronoun here. Those used to carry an accent on their 'e', but a few years ago the RAE changed the rules for that, so the use of the accent is now optional. Demonstrative adjectives never have them.
