Hundreds of people gathered last night in front of the PP headquarters to ask for Ayuso's resignation

Hundreds of people (800 according to the Government Delegation and 2,000 according to the organizers) demonstrated last night in front of the PP headquarters, on Génova Street in Madrid, to demand the resignation of the president of the Community Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The protest took place eight days after the publication of the first information about the Prosecutor's complaint against Ayuso's partner, Alberto González Amador, accused of two crimes of tax fraud and document falsification that the accused himself recognized when He proposed a compromise agreement to the Prosecutor's Office.

In addition to the information about González's alleged irregular activities, in recent days there has been controversy over the threats and insinuations against journalists made by Ayuso's chief of staff, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez.

"Murderer", "I'm going to prison", "I'm going to resign" or "Get out, corrupt, from the Assembly" were some of the slogans against the Madrid president that have been chanted by the protesters, who displayed flags of the Community of Madrid and republicans.

The demonstration, which took place without major incidents (although it forced Génova Street and two other perpendicular roads to be cut in one direction), was called by La Plaza, a university association linked to the Más Madrid area and which was founded in September of 2023.

His spokesman, Rodrigo Alonso, told the media that, "when all the names" in a controversy "point to the same person," he "has to assume responsibility and leave." "We are going to maintain pressure on the street as long as it takes," warned the spokesperson for the organizers, who criticized that, while some Madrid residents live "in hideouts," others live "off of abusive commissions" and dedicate themselves to "political bullying."
