A mass at the Almudena Cathedral this week became the epicenter of a new political controversy. The protagonist was Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and indirectly, the Archbishop of Madrid, José Cobo (Sabiote, Jaén, 1965), who officiated the mass. The funeral ceremony in memory of the victims of the Adamuz train tragedy was held at the request of the president of Madrid. —and amid criticism from the left—. Being surrounded by controversy is nothing new for Cobo. However, in recent years, the outbursts, and in this case directed specifically against him, have come from ultraconservative sectors of the right.
