El “chao ‘pescao” de Ayuso para intentar cerrar la crisis del ático ofrece a la oposición un lema de campaña: “Puede ser un bumerán”

In 2023, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the president of Spain, was heard shouting "Son of a bitch" in the Congress of Deputies. This came after Pedro Sánchez, the country's prime minister, claimed there was a "probable case of corruption" involving her, regarding her brother's payment of a commission to a company contracted by Madrid. The scandal erupted during a public session, causing an uproar and gaining popularity among right-wing voters due to Ayuso's response of "I like this fruit."

Nearly three years later, Díaz Ayuso finds herself in another uncomfortable situation. Neither she nor her government has been able to explain the acquisition of an attic worth over €6 million by a government-owned company (Planifica Madrid). On Monday, as the leader of the opposition party, the People's Party (PP), Alberto Núñez Feijóo, asked for more clarifications from the Madrid executive, the baronesa attempted to wrap up the controversy with another phrase that could serve as a campaign slogan: "It's for sale, chao pescao." This phrase, loaded with danger, was highlighted by three analysts.
