Almeida responds to attacks from the left
The viral hoax served as fuel for critics of the ethnic conflict, especially on the political left. It was a battering ram for them to attack the administration of Isabel Díaz Ayuso at the head of the Community of Madrid and José Luis Martínez Almeida in the City Council.
