Ayuso slams national government for alleged election manipulation scheme

During a control session of the Madrid Assembly, Isabel Díaz Ayuso harshly attacked the national government, claiming it intended to manipulate the upcoming election by using the so-called "law of grandchildren" to grant nationality to descendants of exiled Spaniards. She argued the strategy targeted voters in areas like Tres Cantos and Torrelodones, which she said did not even exist when the proposal was conceived, and declared the gamble over, calling the executive a "mafia."

Ayuso further accused the government of believing it can act without limits, including tampering with electoral rolls. She defended the judiciary, noting that judges have blocked such overreach, and dismissed left-wing complaints as unfounded, referencing the Tribunal de Instancia de Torrejón de Ardoz number 4’s dismissal of a PSOE appeal concerning alleged irregularities at the Torrejón de Ardoz hospital. Ayuso warned that repeated legal defeats could eventually have consequences for those responsible.
