Ayuso Opens Madrid Region Debate With Pledge to Reject Debt Write-Off

New leaks on her partner’s tax case sharpen scrutiny during the two-day accountability session.

Overview

  • Isabel Díaz Ayuso began an unlimited opening speech outlining her agenda, with party replies and resolution votes set for September 12.
  • She said Madrid will not request the “quita de deuda” and vowed to fight what she called an illegal measure linked to national agreements with ERC.
  • The address included about 50 proposals, including installing ATMs in 143 small municipalities and fully reopening Metro Line 7B in November.
  • The debate coincides with publication of audios and access by El País to a 2 hour 38 minute judicial statement from the tax inspector in the case involving Alberto González Amador.
  • PSOE’s Óscar López called for Ayuso’s resignation but is not attending the chamber, as Vox criticized both PP and PSOE; Madrid’s mayor and vice mayor attended the opening session.
