Madrid regional president Isabel Díaz Ayuso has brushed off the controversy surrounding a flat in the Chamberí district, calling the matter "memez" — roughly, nonsense — and saying she does not want to hear anything more about it, according to heraldo.es.
The remark came as coverage of the property continued across Spanish outlets. El Mundo reported that the ático's future is now uncertain after no "valientes" — bold buyers — came forward to purchase it, leaving another 30 days of bidding and a direct sale as a last resort.
Other outlets have kept pressure on the regional government's account of the affair. LaSexta reported that the unanswered questions and contradictions in the Comunidad de Madrid's version of events have failed to convince anyone. El Correo said the ático's official file reveals a trail of irregularities and inconsistencies, while elDiario.es reported that the paperwork leads only to Ayuso herself.
The story centers on the ownership and handling of the Chamberí flat and the regional government's explanations of it. Ayuso's latest comments mark an attempt to close down the subject rather than address the discrepancies raised in the reporting.
What to watch next: whether the bidding period produces a buyer, and whether the regional government offers a fuller account of the file.
