Óscar Puente clashes with Ayuso on social networks over the train derailment

Isabel Díaz Ayuso's phrase "I like fruit" to cover up the insult she threw at the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, on the day of the investiture continues to cause a stir.

On this occasion, the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, has used it to respond to the Madrid president who criticized "two train derailments in Atocha in 9 days." And he added: "We will do everything necessary to protect the people of Madrid from Sánchez's lack of concern for Cercanías."

Óscar Puente responded to Ayuso: "Calm down President. Focus on building metro lines without demolishing anyone's houses, because the Government of Spain is already taking care of the problems that the Madrid commuter network has."

After these darts, a tweeter asked the minister: "Aren't you blocking her?" And he responded: "No, I also like fruit." And the controversy broke out.

With this phrase, followers of one party and another began to express their opinion and the discourse was generated. For example, a tweeter posing as Colmillo Blanco responded: "Tavern pimp. Something else is expected from a minister of Spain." And Puente wrote again: "I like fruit."

The debate continued and a user responded to Puente that "the Madrid metro is an example of public transport, the best example really. They have built an entire infrastructure in 25 years that has made it possible to reach the center from any neighborhood in the South in "20 minutes. It seems that you don't use it."

In this second mode of transport, used by thousands of travelers in the Community of Madrid, Puente responded: "It is great, but not without problems." And he attached several news items that alluded to failures on different lines of the Madrid metro. But whether the metro works well or poorly is another story and another debate.
