Ayuso returns from Mexico early and blames Sheinbaum's government "boycott"
The Madrid president suspends the agenda of the last four days of her controversial trip surrounded by criticism
MadridCornered by criticism, Isabel Díaz Ayuso has decided to return early from her official trip to Mexico. In a statement, the Madrid government attributes the decision to cancel the last leg —there were still four days of the tour left— to the "boycott" by the government of progressive Claudia Sheinbaum, with whom she has clashed during her stay.
According to the PP executive, the president of Mexico has "threatened to close the hotel where" the Platino awards gala is being held "if President Díaz Ayuso attends." The ceremony is this Saturday in the Riviera Maya. Before making this accusation against Sheinbaum and announcing that she is canceling the rest of the trip, the Madrid opposition had reported that the Madrid president would spend two days without an agenda in this tourist area of the Caribbean. Més Madrid's complaint that Ayuso was on a "paid vacation" has generated an avalanche of criticism on social media.
Ayuso's claims about Spanish colonialism have also generated criticism. According to a digital analysis disseminated by Efe, the visit has generated 60% negative opinions. Beyond the critical individuals, the Madrid opposition has been questioning the usefulness of this trip for days and has called it a "vacation". "It's false," replies the Madrid government, which defends the agenda and states that it is Sheinbaum who "has expelled" Ayuso.
