Genoa takes a step back in the Ayuso attic controversy
The PP spokespeople refer to the Community's "explanations" and hardly any high-ranking national official defends the baroness on social media. "There is a feeling of unnecessary discomfort," says a source.
The first time that Génova had anything to say about the purchase of the luxury penthouse by the Madrid executive led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso was on Thursday, 30 July, a day after EL PAÍS revealed its acquisition. It was at the national headquarters of the PP, during a press conference given by Miguel Tellado. “I refer you to the explanations given by the Regional Government”, replied the general secretary of the Popular Party.
The appearance ended and barely an hour later, Ayuso's office announced a drastic change of script that generated even more doubts about the final use of the apartment: they would sell the property and allocate the money to those affected by the fires, they said. Tellado had shown his face, although putting himself in profile, to get out of the way of the controversy when in Sol they inflated the ball much more in an infinitesimal period of time.
Ten days later, the official version of Alberto Núñez Feijóo's team remains the same: to refer to the words of the Madrid baroness despite the fact that, every day, the skein gets tangled up more with new compromising reports. “There is a feeling of unnecessary discomfort”, sums up a national parliamentarian. “An unnecessary mess”, he adds.
