PP spokesman defends mail-in voting system amid Ayuso's criticism

PP spokesperson Borja Sémper defended the electoral mail-in system, countering Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso's warnings about possible fraud.

Borja Sémper, the People's Party's spokesperson, responded to questions about the electoral mail-in procedure after Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso expressed worries about potential manipulation. He highlighted that the process is controlled by the Central Electoral Board, which includes PP representation, and described it as "guaranteed". Sémper encouraged those unable to vote in person to use mail-in ballots and called for a massive turnout favoring the PP. He framed Ayuso's remarks as reflecting public distrust toward one outlet administration and warned that upcoming elections are especially consequential. Sémper also called for restoring respect for institutions and focusing on material issues such as housing, education, and health.
