Ayuso after her failure in Mexico: "We had to disappear. We were in danger"

MadridThe controversy is associated with the name of Isabel Díaz Ayuso. In fact, for years she has made this her particular political strategy, but her latest trip to Mexico has surely exceeded all expectations. An official trip that, on the one hand, has called into question the reconciliation process between Spain and the country presided over by Claudia Sheinbaum after years of frozen relations; and, on the other hand, has ignited Mexican politics and society to the point that Díaz Ayuso's team decided to leave the official trip early. This Monday, the president of the Community of Madrid has chosen to blame the Spanish and Mexican governments: "We had to disappear. We were in danger."

According to her account to COPE, these two institutions did not guarantee the security that she deserved as a regional president, in a country —she said verbatim— that is immersed in "drug trafficking" and where many states are directly managed by "drug traffickers." "It is profoundly violent and dangerous, and the government has abandoned us," censured the popular leader, wondering if this would have happened to the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa. She also added that since Morena came to power, Sheinbaum's party, there have been "hundreds of politicians assassinated" and "more than 100,000 disappeared." Ayuso has not been left without a response: the Spanish president, Pedro Sánchez, replied from La Moncloa that she is a "creator" of problems, but that he did not intend to "quarrel" with her. He said this next to the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom, with whom he met this Tuesday to address the situation of hantavirus.
