The internal crisis facing Isabel Díaz Ayuso is evident, although the Madrid president has tried to downplay it. During Thursday's question time in the Madrid Assembly, Ayuso had to address the controversial fall from grace of a sector within her regional government and the Popular Party's parliamentary group. "There is no distraction tactic that can cover up the infighting that has erupted with Viciana's dismissal," warned the leader of the opposition, spokesperson for Más Madrid, Manuela Bergerot. The departure earlier this week of the Minister of Education, Emilio Viciana, has triggered a trickle of resignations and dismissals of other officials linked to the now former minister. All of them fall under the influence of Antonio Castillo Algarra, a playwright considered an advisor to Ayuso in the educational and cultural spheres, and who is also one of those who resigned as director of the Spanish Ballet of the Community of Madrid.

The former PP councilor from Móstoles who She suffered a situation of alleged sexual and workplace harassment The mayor of the municipality, Manuel Bautista, intends to take the case to court. In statements to Europa Press, her lawyer, Antonio Suárez-Valdés, explained that he is preparing a complaint against the mayor for sexual harassment and other offenses, which he intends to file next week. The lawyer maintains that she did not report the case earlier because she felt "coerced" by the party. From the PP headquarters in Madrid, the party's general secretary, Alfonso Serrano, counters that "there has never been any sexual harassment" and alleges that the concept of sexual harassment "was only introduced" in the last email she sent to her lawyer, before she resigned as councilwoman and party member. At that time, the case was referred to the Spanish PP's Committee on Rights and Guarantees, which closed the investigation due to a lack of evidence. "The PP's reaction was deplorable at the time, and now it's disgusting and repugnant to threaten the victim in an attempt to silence her. It's a desperate attempt to cover up the uncoverable, even though they have full knowledge of what happened," Suárez-Valdés stated. Ayuso's right-hand man in the Madrid PP insists that they always treated it as a "labor conflict or dispute" or a case of discrimination—he reiterates that the former councilwoman denied any sexual abuse—and attributes it to a "vendetta policy".
