The councillor indicated by Ayuso to explain the purchase of the penthouse is sticking to the same speech: “They are looking for a ghost.”

Isabel Díaz Ayuso has said that it is the Presidency Department that must provide the relevant explanations about the purchase of the attic for 6.3 million, which was supposedly going to serve as a temporary office for the president of Madrid while some work was being carried out at her current headquarters in the last quarter of this year.

The property, bought in an opaque manner by a public company, Planifica Madrid, cannot be used for this purpose, and the regional government has announced that it will put it up for sale, after this newspaper revealed this unusual operation. Last week, Ayuso offered some explanations that are insufficient if the report on this acquisition is not presented, where it should appear who gave the order to buy it, what were the other options that were considered and if it is true that the main reason for the acquisition was the one declared by the Government.
