Ayuso tries to end the penthouse controversy: "It's for sale, 'bye fish'"

Madrid"It's for sale, bye fish." In this way, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, tried this Monday to close the controversy over the purchase of the luxury penthouse in Chamberí by the regional government. A way to shed the pressure coming from her own party: this Sunday it was the leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who considered that the Treasury of the Community of Madrid had to give explanations for having acquired a property that could not be used as an office.

"I think we've said it all. If they keep asking every politician who returns from vacation, they'll have a new headline. It's a property for offices and it's for sale. It's been wanted to be connected to housing. Once again the opposition is getting tangled up again to achieve nothing," she said. Adding: "This gum can't be stretched any further."

However, even though Ayuso attributes the controversy to the opposition, the truth is that it has also generated internal doubts, as the explanations given by those close to the Madrid president have not been understood. Asked about this matter, the PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, avoided commenting on the penthouse issue. In fact, as soon as the press conference began, the popular leader said that the only thing that had occupied them at the meeting of the PP's state leadership was Ceuta. "I have no more information. Ceuta occupies all our time. The response of the Community of Madrid is reasonable," assured Sémper, who at all times emphasized that Feijóo is focused on helping to resolve the crisis. "He speaks every day with Mr. Rivas," he highlighted, referring to the president of the autonomous city.
