Almeida admits the "undeniable" error in the requalification of the Real Madrid city, but assures that "it does not frustrate the operation"

Madrid's mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has acknowledged that an economic report supporting the reclassification of land for a Real Madrid project contains a calculation error. The error increases projected municipal income from 1.46 million euros to 98.6 million euros. Martínez-Almeida admitted the mistake, describing it as a material error in tax rate calculations. Despite the 97-million-euro discrepancy, the mayor stated that the project remains unaffected.
