The agreement of April 28, 2021 reached by the Governing Council of a Community of Madrid chaired by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, at that moment acting -she was re-invested as head of the Madrid Executive on June 18, 2021-, allowed the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Employment to issue an order on May 27, 2021 that approved the Covid line of direct aid to self-employed workers and companies financed by the Government of Spain.
Starting from the premise that an acting regional government can indeed issue orders and regulations with limited capacity to urgent situations, one of the companies that, as ElConstitucional.es has been able to verify, received Covid aid granted by the Community of Madrid for a value of €93,958.90 was Durbanity Eventos, SL. (NIF: B87698767; Registro MADRID. Sección 8. Hoja 637576). The company, still active, has as sole administrator Sergio Rafael Hernández Torre Durban who was the first husband of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the president of the Community of Madrid having married him in 2008 until they divorced in 2011, as stated to 'ElConstitucional.es' which, furthermore, as proof, publishes an unpublished photo of the leader of the Madrid Executive dressed as a bride in which the businessman also appears.
Sergio Rafael Hernández Torre Durban, ex-husband and mentor of Isabel Díaz Ayuso
The ex-husband of the still president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, was also her first political mentor as sources from the PP of Madrid attest to this newspaper consulted. Sergio Rafael Hernández Torre Durban, very related to the former president of the CAM Esperanza Aguirre and the environment of the most influential of the Madrid Popular Party, allowed her to ascend politically in a PP as complicated as that of Madrid.
Not only her ex-husband. The Councillor of the Presidency of the Government of the Community of Madrid from September 2012 to June 2015 under the autonomous mandate of Ignacio González, Salvador Victoria, was Ayuso's second political mentor with whom, furthermore, as this newspaper has learned, the current leader of the Madrid Executive maintained a romantic relationship.
The issues with Hacienda of Ayuso's first husband
Returning to Sergio Rafael Hernández Torre Durban, sources of the highest solvency consulted by 'ElConstitucional.es' confirm that Isabel Díaz Ayuso's first husband “has 12 incidents with the Tax Agency” with his other company Flamenco Golf, SL (NIF: B85810083; Registry MADRID. Section 8. Sheet 489039; with signs of inactivity), which depends on Durbanity Eventos, SL, which this newspaper continues to investigate and is related to a golf course that is under suspicion. “Today it remains active in the Commercial Registry but without being able to operate legally. All these incidents were committed between the years 2011 and 2016, so when the CAM gave him the subsidy, he already had problems with the Tax Agency”, remarks the source consulted by 'ElConstitucional.es'. It is evident that the 93,958.90€ that the businessman received for the Covid aid line allowed Ayuso's first husband to cover economic holes.
The PP of Madrid has tried, and continues trying, to cover up this information: a lie as a response to ElConstitucional.es
The information that this Wednesday 'ElConstitucional.es' exclusively publishes has been attempted to be hidden by the PP de Madrid and, by extension, by the government of the Community of Madrid given the clear “discomfort” that all members closest to Ayuso are related to controversial issues: the family company selling sanitary material whose registered office is located at Ayuso's address, information revealed by 'ElConstitucional.es'; her father's controversy with AvalMadrid; the Ayuso's brother's commissions in the midst of the pandemic; the case against her current partner Alberto González Amador; and, even, the controversy with her sister-in-law.
This newspaper, fulfilling the diligence of the informant, has contacted the Madrid Executive to cross-reference the information we publish today and received a lie in response. “The subsidy was from Pedro Sánchez. The Community [of Madrid] only processed the aid granted by the central Government, without the possibility of refusing. Sánchez subsidized Ayuso's ex-husband's company, 10 years after divorcing,” they maintain, as a version, from the government of the Community of Madrid.
The truth is that while the financing for that Covid line of direct aid came from the government of Spain, led by Pedro Sánchez, the processing and granting of the aid was managed by the Community of Madrid through the General Directorate for Self-Employed and Entrepreneurship of the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Employment of the Madrid Executive.
