Ayuso dismisses press queries over disputed Chamberí penthouse purchase

President Isabel Díaz Ayuso reacted sharply to media questions about a luxury apartment in Chamberí that was bought by the public agency Planifica Madrid. She said the case is unrelated to her management and that she has no interest in owning an official residence, emphasizing her desire to live anonymously despite her public role. Ayuso voiced irritation that reporters keep returning to the topic, even after she explained her position.

Her remarks came after an event in Alcalá de Henares where she laid the foundation stone for a data-processing centre to be constructed by the Spanish firm Nabiax. The regional government had earlier presented its version of events, but opposition lawmakers are still pressing for answers on who authorized the purchase, why it was kept secret, who selected the property and who validated its price. The controversy remains unresolved as critics call for further transparency.
