Ayuso swears that Madrid's money is untouched and that whoever "touches it will pay for it"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General5 September 2026 at 15:04

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, stated this Saturday that "the money of the people of Madrid will not be touched and whoever touches it will pay for it". "That I swear," underlined the regional leader, criticizing the reform of the autonomic financing system approved on Friday by the Council for Fiscal and Financial Policy (CPFF).

The event took place in Getafe, in the Community of Madrid, during the start of the new political year of the PP of Madrid, with the presence of the national leader of the party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. Ayuso considered that this region is the most harmed "by far" by the reform of autonomic financing.

According to the Madrid president, the reform was approved counting only with the support of Catalonia and the Canary Islands, which demonstrates the political isolation of the measure. Ayuso made these declarations as a way to guarantee to the taxpayers of Madrid that their resources will not be affected by the new financial distribution among autonomous communities.

Spanish government takes control of Ceuta port to house migrants

The Spanish government approved a decree to take control of the port of Ceuta and authorize the installation of tents in an area of 16,000 square meters to temporarily house more than a thousand migrants, after the board of the Port Authority of Ceuta rejected the request from the State Secretariat for Migration on grounds that it would be incompatible with the normal operation of the port. The decision comes in a context of tension, with protests by hundreds of Ceuta residents against the migrant detention centers being prepared by the Spanish government, and after the illegal entry of more than 70,000 people into the enclave between July 30 and 31, which Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez described as a "violation of Spain's territorial integrity," holding human trafficking mafias responsible and pointing to the involvement of Israel and Russia in amplifying disinformation on social media.
