The Socialist Parliamentary Group of the Assembly of Madrid registered a series of questions with the Vallecas Chamber this Monday, directed at the regional Government, to clarify the conditions of the recent trip to Argentina by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The socialists want to know on what terms the trip was made and, above all, if public resources were used to finance it.
The PSOE initiative arises after the meeting that Ayuso held last Thursday at the Casa Rosada, the seat of the Argentine Presidency, with Javier Milei, an encounter that was described by the regional administration as being of a "personal nature". The agenda, according to the Community of Madrid, included current international affairs and the promotion of institutional and social collaboration between the two countries.
Some of the questions raised by the socialists are **whether the trip was private or institutional, who requested the meeting with the Argentine president, and what topics were discussed at the meeting**. The party also asks for clarification on **whether public money was used "directly or indirectly"** to cover this trip.
Transparency
The PSOE spokesperson in the Assembly, Mar Espinar, has linked these issues to the president's current partner, and has raised specific questions: "Was the president's trip to Argentina paid for with public money? What activities did she carry out during her stay? What criteria were followed to justify this trip?"
The socialists also ask for clarifications on who accompanied Ayuso on the trip, whether the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was informed, and if the VIP lounge at Barajas Airport was used to begin the journey. This is not the first time the use of these facilities has generated controversy on past trips by the president, such as the one to Miami, which was criticized by the opposition.
