“The Community of Madrid is a free, safe and mestizo region.” “We enjoy the best public services in the world.” “The Community of Madrid is fashionable worldwide.” Even the unborn know it, because they are already alive. Somehow. They are some of Isabel Díaz Ayuso's speech at the start of the debate of the state of the region. The first three. The last one, not exactly, although some of that there was. It was foreseeable that it would be heard that Madrid is the best thing that can be found in the Milky Way. Ayuso is the first propagandist of his cause – and dedicates his good public money so that the media have him very present – and is convinced that he must never be cut when praising herself.
But before the obligation, there was passion. The president of Madrid dedicated the first twenty minutes of her speech to national policy, not in vain is considered the great bulwark of the country against Pedro Sánchez. Then there is Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who deals with his things. Other regional presidents of the PP are currently focused and needs of their regions. Ayuso has been called higher levels of responsibility and is convinced that he is Sánchez's biggest rival.
The day began with the publication for this newspaper of the Audios of the Declaration of the Finance Inspectors who testified in the Court for the alleged fiscal crimes of Ayuso's boyfriend. They told what they discovered in the documentation provided by Alberto González Amador, which forced the Tax Agency to put the case in the knowledge of the Prosecutor's Office. “As I had a lot of fiscal burden that year, because it had many benefits, because one way to do it is through issuance, the reception of false invoices or the use of those false invoices,” they said before the judge.
Amador went from income of 375,000 euros in 2019 to 2,330,000. And intended to pay less to the Treasury than in the previous date. For those inspectors, it was only a guy who intended not to pay what corresponded to taxes by resorting to a somewhat bungling method and easy to detect.
What was a case of greed was presented by Ayuso at the time as a conspiracy of “the powers of the State” or “a wild inspection.” At that time, his complaint at a press conference made a private problem of a taxpayer in a matter of the maximum political relevance. That did not prevent both she and her party have not stopped affirming that he is just an individual who passed by.
The news allowed the opposition to receive Ayuso before the speech with his best wishes. The PSOE demanded his resignation through Mar Espinar: “His partner multiplies his income with a company (the chiron group) that is one of the largest contractors with the Community of Madrid.” Manuela Bergerot, from more Madrid, recalled that “Mrs. Ayuso did not become a millionaire for her talent in business, but because of her proximity to power and her chance to cheat the Treasury.”
Díaz Ayuso drew a wonderful stage for Madrid and another dark for Spain. The second, because of Sánchez, of course. “Spain is looking out an unprecedented abyss,” he said. On other occasions, he has affirmed that the country has already entered the way to an authoritarian regime, a very unique one where the central government has not made the legislative support budgets in this legislature. On the lousy state of Spain, he referred to public services whose management corresponds to the government that she presides. “Doctors and nurses are missing throughout the country,” he said, passing over the fact that it is his government who hires them in the Community of Madrid.
The Madrid community has once again The slightest health budget Per capita from all over Spain, according to an analysis of the Federation of Associations in Defense of Public Health (FADSP). His government projected an expense of 1,482 euros for each inhabitant, when the average in Spain is 1,944 euros. The figure can increase at the end of the year with the extraordinary contributions that are made to private health. Madrid has another negative record on the waiting lists to see a specialist. That situation occurs despite the fact that “we are the economic engine of Spain, its first economy”, in the words of Ayuso.
In the usual promises section in these speeches, Ayuso announced what his government will do in relation to the housing crisis. He presumed that the region leads the construction of protected housing in Spain “with 53% of the provisional grades granted in 2024”. Its objective is to increase the buildability of the built areas and expand their number by changing land uses to allow building in places where you can't now. It will still not apply the Housing Law approved by Congress and will not impose more limitations to tourist housing rentals. Like what happens with the other CCAA, the measures that she has launched in her six years as president have not prevented a spectacular increase in floors prices.
Ayuso recovered an idea that he spoke in the 2019 election campaign. Extending existing son aid at the time a woman is pregnant. The fetuses will have the same consideration as babies when families receive public aid that correspond to them. “We are going to promote a bill so that the unborn tells, because he lives and because he is here,” he said. “And the family that expects it needs to organize their home, its economy.”
Very soon on his screens: Madrid, the best place in the world for unborn. That will compensate that it is not so good to fool the Treasury with false invoices.
