The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, responded this Monday to the criticism made by left-wing parties and environmental organizations about the damage that could be caused by the mascletá that took place on Sunday on the Paseo del Rey in the capital, organized by the City Council.
"It must be that the ducks in Valencia resist everything and in Madrid, upside down the first time," he said ironically, while continuing to joke that they will have to "do an analysis of the fauna in Madrid because it is in a worse condition." . In his opinion, the same happens with "the bulls", where he believes that he will not see "Bildu and the Sanfermines" saying that they are against "because of" animal issues. " The show lasted 7 minutes and there were 1,500 meters of fireworks .
For his part, the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, described this Monday as a “success” the mascletá that on Sunday brought together “more than 20,000 people” on the esplanade of the Puente del Rey, in Madrid Río, and He has also defined the show as a “failure” of the city’s “sad and bitter left.”
“A very positive assessment. More than 20,000 people enjoyed an event that is a World Cultural Heritage Site, and, therefore, the left once again made a fool of themselves in the city of Madrid,” Almeida said after the informative breakfast starring Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
The councilor added that "yesterday the mascletá was a success, but it was also a failure of that sad and bitter left that we unfortunately have in this city, which does not connect with the majority feelings of the people of Madrid, who do not want anything to ever happen and "That when it happens he always complains."
“I would tell the left – Almeida continued – to stop making apocalyptic predictions about what is happening; that we said that all the rules were going to be met, that all precautions were going to be taken, which is what happened; It was a great show that more than 20,000 people enjoyed; "which allowed us to strengthen relations between Valencia and Madrid, but, above all, I would ask that of the left: to leave that sadness, that bitterness, that resentment that they have in all their actions."
Instead of “spending all day asking for things not to be done,” the Madrid left “has to pitch in so that Madrid continues to have the best moment that we Madrid residents have ever had,” concluded Almeida, who finally did not attend. to the pyrotechnic show as a sign of support for the people killed and injured in the fire at a residence in Aravaca.
