Absolute silence. Not a word from Isabel Díaz Ayuso about the statement in the Supreme Court of her chief of staff in which Míguel Ángel Rodríguez admitted that it was he himself who leaked to half a dozen newspapers the hoax that a prosecutor had proposed an agreement to the president's partner to avoid a media trial for his double tax fraud and that it was “orders from above” in the public ministry that stopped this compliance.
Since last Friday, when the videos of Miguel Ángel Rodríguez were published in elDiario.es and other media, acknowledging to the court that the news published in various media was based on an assumption of his that resulted from the fact that he has been in politics for many years and already has “white hair,” the president of Madrid has avoided making any allusion to the issue. On Friday, as happens some weeks, Ayuso did not have a public agenda. This Monday she has not called any event either, although she is working “normally” according to sources in her department and her only public appearance over the weekend was to attend the events of Hispanic Heritage Day and a bullfight in Las Ventas, where Morante de la Puebla gave her a bull (to her and Santiago Abascal, who was also in the box).
In the minutes before the parade on October 12, Ayuso did have a brief meeting of a few minutes with a Telemadrid reporter. In that talk he was asked what he thought that the video that Pedro Sánchez tweeted about Columbus Day did not include images of the Spanish flag, due to the absence of Abascal at the events and due to a survey by El Español that predicts a solo Feijóo government with the abstention of Vox, but nothing about the statement of his chief of staff and his partner in the Supreme Court.
In the statements that his communications office sent to the press this Sunday and that started from the conversation with the Telemadrid reporter there was also no allusion to the matter and there was an accusation of Sánchez “of fueling the trench war and hatred” and of being the Government of “no to peace”, in line with the statements he made to regional television. This Monday the president has not called any public event and at the moment the silence is absolute both in the presidency of the Community and in her chief of staff, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, who has not made any comments on her social networks and, for the moment, also in her government.
