  "account": "Isabel Díaz Ayuso has only presented 623 euros in expenses for her controversial trip to Mexico in May, from which she returned in a climate of total confrontation with the Government of that country and exposed to criticism from many Mexicans who did not understand her passionate defense of the conquistador Hernán Cortés, a figure whose mention still generates a lot of discussion today.\n\nNow, the mystery falls on who paid for the accommodations, transportation, and meals of the president. Before the transparency portal, she has only declared that amount and said on Wednesday that she will not provide more information because it was not charged to the accounts of the Community of Madrid.\n\nAn advisor to Ayuso said at the time to this newspaper that Enrique Cerezo took care of some expenses, but the businessman denied it. For now, the enigma has not been resolved, so it is not possible to know if the president incurred in any conflict of interest.",
