Más Madrid rebuts Ayuso: "The penthouse and the 'bye, fish' will be the epitaph of her political life"

MadridThe day after Isabel Díaz Ayuso appeared for more than two hours at the Madrid Assembly without giving explanations about the luxury penthouse, the opposition criticized the silence of the Madrid president and accused her of "corruption". "The penthouse and the 'chao, pescao' will be the epitaph of her political life", stated the spokesperson for Més Madrid in the regional chamber, Manuela Bergerot, this Friday. The opposition leader argued that the purchase of the 6.3 million euro property is "the definitive proof" that Ayuso "is corrupt". Along the same lines, the PSOE denounced that the leader of the Madrid PP "has believed herself to be God and has become drunk on power". "The penthouse is a before and after. Her bargain is over and so is her political career", assured the socialist spokesperson, Mar Espinar.

Both she and Bergerot rebutted the triumphalist account given this Thursday by the Madrid president, who claimed that Madrid is going through its best moment and boasted of her management in an attempt to show strength and unity after the crisis over the luxury penthouse. "You are at your lowest point. Questioned within your own party, with fear that they will do a Cifuentes to you and force you to leave politics through the back door", stated the spokesperson for Més Madrid. Bergerot has demanded the declassification of all documents regarding the penthouse and has asked the Madrid Minister of the Presidency to whom Ayuso passed the responsibility, Miguel Ángel García Martín, to "pull the covers off". The controversy will have a new episode next Thursday with the parliamentary appearance of García Martín to speak about the operation.

The Madrid left has not only reproached this matter to the PP but has also questioned the entirety of Ayuso's model. "You are lethal to the well-being of the people of Madrid," Espinar denounced. Outside the Madrid Assembly, there was a demonstration by nursery school workers from the Community, on strike due to their working conditions. "The priorities are clear: there is money to hastily build a Formula 1 circuit, but there is no money for the health centers in Parla, Leganés, Aranjuez, Getafe, or Carabanchel Alt to have doctors," lamented Bergerot. In electoral terms, months before the 2027 regional elections, the Madrid left has appealed to the "Madrid of the neighborhoods that is rebelling against the Madrid of the penthouses".
