Isabel Díaz Ayuso commented on her apartment controversy during the State of the Region Debate at the Madrid Assembly, stating that she did not want a residence because she likes to live in community, have neighbors and not live like the opposition. Her statements came in response to regional left-wing criticism during the second day of the debate, which was described as the last of the legislature and "the last as president" for Ayuso.
The spokesperson for Más Madrid in the Madrid Assembly, Manuela Bergerot, initiated the second day of the State of the Region Debate with a very harsh speech against the Madrid president. In her first words, Bergerot asked the president that the Community of Madrid welcome all necessary children, girls and asylum seekers to alleviate the situation in Ceuta.
Bergerot devoted a large part of her speech to the controversial penthouse acquired in April by the public company Planifica Madrid, directly questioning the acquisition and using it as the central argument of her criticism of Ayuso's management. The regional left attacked the Madrid president without hesitation on this issue during the debate.
The State of the Region Debate took place in its final session and marks the closure of legislative activity before the next regional elections. Ayuso faces these criticisms at a politically delicate moment, with the opposition focusing on issues related to transparency and the use of public resources.
