The Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has distanced herself today from the famous penthouse, located on General Martínez Campos promenade, and stated that she never intended to live in that apartment. After meeting with the mayors of the municipalities affected by the recent fires in the Community, Díaz Ayuso referred to the penthouse controversy and assured that it is being used “to cause harm.”
“If I had wanted a home for myself, it wouldn’t have taken seven years. It would be very unwise on my part at this stage of my political life to look for a house,” said Díaz Ayuso, who insisted on her initial version: that her Government bought that penthouse to use it as an office for her and her team while renovation works were carried out at the Community of Madrid headquarters, located in Puerta del Sol: “They are mixing where one lives with where one is going to work,” she lamented.
Furthermore, Díaz Ayuso has distanced herself from the purchase of the penthouse and assured that she is unaware of the details of that acquisition made by Planifica Madrid, which “buys and sells properties all year round.” “I have no idea about anything else, it is not my responsibility, the one who has all the data is the councilor Miguel Ángel García,” concluded the Madrid president.

She has also addressed the rumors sparked by the fact that her boyfriend, Alberto González Amador, has put up for sale these days the apartment where the couple lives together: “Two circumstances have occurred at the same time that have nothing to do with each other,” Díaz Ayuso defended herself against those rumors unleashed, in her opinion, “to cause harm.”
The Madrid president also confirmed her Government’s intention to sell that controversial penthouse along with other apartments owned by the Community of Madrid located on Gran Vía in the capital to allocate the money from the sale to the reconstruction of the areas affected by the fires: “It would not be understood that the money was spent on something else given the need we have,” she emphasized.
