An Ayuso consultant visited the penthouse before the purchase and the president went to see him afterwards.

The article reports on controversy surrounding the purchase of an attic apartment in Madrid by the Community of Madrid, allegedly linked to President Isabel Díaz Ayuso. According to information provided by her circle to El País and confirmed by elDiario.es, an advisor of Ayuso visited the property before its purchase, and the president herself visited it afterward. The regional government has acknowledged that either Ayuso or someone from her team visited the property prior to the purchase. However, some sources within Ayuso’s inner circle deny that Álvaro Sanz, her chief of staff, visited the property, redirecting responsibility to the Presidency Council. Another source claims that the claim of the Community purchasing a property from Ayuso is false, stating she has her own rental. The article notes ongoing scrutiny over the purchase, including questions about who authorized the transaction and its purpose, with officials insisting the purchase was not for personal use but for administrative needs. The incident comes amid broader political tensions related to post-incendiary reconstruction efforts.

The Community of Madrid confirms that Ayuso visited the attic after its purchase "as an option to move there his office" by the works of Sol

The Government of Madrid confirmed that President Isabel Díaz Ayuso visited the luxury apartment she purchased through Planifica Madrid, which has been controversial since its acquisition for 6.3 million euros. The visit occurred after the purchase, and the move to the apartment was considered as an option due to upcoming works at the Real Casa de Correos, though no final decision had been made by late October. The sale of the property is intended to fund the reconstruction of the Sierra Oeste area affected by wildfires. Regarding a complaint filed by Más Madrid against the Court of Auditors, the spokesperson stated that Más Madrid 'always loses' when taking the Community to court, accusing the left and far-left of attempting to cover up widespread corruption and chaos in Ceuta.

Bias read (Conservative): The article uses strong ideological language, such as calling the opposition 'left and far-left,' accuses them of covering up 'corruption' and 'chaos,' and frames the controversy around the apartment purchase as a minor issue compared to broader systemic problems. The tone is dismissive of criticism
