Watch the activity of the Madrid Assembly with National Politics as your background screen, as usual. Isabel Díaz Ayuso appears in full in July for the first time since the announcement of the imprisonment of former Socialist Minister José Luis Ábalos, the former trusted figure of Pedro Sánchez. On Sunday, the President of Madrid participated in an anti-corruption march called by her party, the People’s Party, in which she criticized Los Tibios, in what could be interpreted as a call for stronger positions in this very polarized context in which Spanish politics exists.
Also on the table will be the controversy that arose after hearing an audio clip, revealed by El País newspaper, in which the CEO of the Ribera Health Group, which runs the public hospital in Torrejon de Ardoz, orders an increase in waiting lists in order to carry out fewer interventions and reject unprofitable patients or operations to increase interest. After understanding this information, the Health Board urgently contacted the hospital management team and committed to taking “all measures and controls that can be compatible with it.”
The PSOE and Madrid have announced that they are preparing to take legal action against the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso in the matter. “What Ayuso is doing to public health is an absolute truth,” said Oscar Lopez, minister and general secretary of the Socialists in Madrid. “What we know about the hospital in Torrejon shows that he treats patients as customers. Privatization is the right of all in the business of the few.”
Meanwhile, the Vox Party is pursuing its own extremist agenda. The far-right party will present four partial amendments to the 2026 assumptions, one of which is to finance the expulsions of illegal immigrants. According to him, the party, led by Isabel Pérez Monino in Madrid, asks Ayuso to reach agreements with the countries of origin of the people he intends to expel from the country.
