The Community of Madrid has tried to close the chapter on the controversial luxury penthouse acquired by Planifica Madrid with 224 pages of documentation. But the effect achieved has been very different from what Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s team sought. Because, although the file made public yesterday reconstructs in detail what happened from the moment the public company began negotiating the acquisition of the property until the regional Government canceled the lease that had been planned to use it “as an office” and decided to put it up for sale, it leaves the main questions unanswered. Who really commissioned the purchase?; when was the decision made?; and why was that penthouse chosen and not another property? “They intended to overwhelm with information, but it backfired due to the number of unanswered questions that still exist,” summarize from Más Madrid.

Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has denied that there has been a diplomatic crisis with Spain on account of Spain’s recognition of the suffering caused by the conquest of America. “There is no diplomatic crisis, there never has been. What is important is that the strength of the indigenous peoples for our homeland be recognized,” she explained upon her arrival at the IV Meeting in Defense of Democracy taking place in Barcelona this Saturday.
