“A hesitated”, “A Happy Tomass”, “A game of trileros” … the deputies of the PSOE and more Madrid, Mar Espinar and Alejandro Sánchez, did not save in adjectives to qualify the walk that the director of the Guadarrama National Park gave to the visitors for the farm used by the president, although without ever entering the house. The Community of Madrid argues that it is a, but that “for security reasons” could not allow access to the interior of the house, since it is a villa for “institutional activities,” community press sources said community to this newspaper. The deputies could, however, see the surrounding pool to the house.
Initially, the objective of the autonomous deputies was to know in more detail some facilities whose use said they did not know until two weeks ago ,.
The deputies had demanded that the Community of Madrid have “one day and an hour” to learn about the newly acquired public site and, finally, they were summoned this July 31 at four in the afternoon. Once in Rascafría, the park managers accompanied the deputies abroad, including the pool, although without entering the house that had the windows covered with curtains.
“This visit has served to confirm that the Madrid we have paid a villa to Ayuso to come when she wants. Ayuso plans to live on the face, it costs what it costs. In Madrid he lives in an attic paid with disappointed money and here he does it in a villa paid by all Madrid’s,” criticized the socialist spokeswoman in the assembly.
“Now we know that he does not choose any site, it is an idyllic site. We have not been able to enter for security reasons and because he has an institutional use. I am spokesman for the PSOE and also represents the institutions,” Espinar claimed at the doors of the house.
“We have paid that chalet among all Madrid. That villa was going to be a national park interpretation center and now they tell us no, that for that end the house of the wood will be allocated (another nearby house) but that the villa will be for institutional use,” he insisted.
In the same direction, the deputy of Mas Madrid, Alejandro Sánchez, criticized that “the Madrid do not have to pay any politician for the weekend,” he said. “
The main reproach to the president of the community has to do with it when criticizing the private use of public institutions by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.
In one of the few references that Ayuso has so far made to the subject, he defended that he took his own food and that his stay in the residence of the Guadarrama Park with that of President Sánchez in his “four palaces” is not comparable. Ayuso also recalled that he has his salary “frozen for 15 years” (he charges 103,090.32 euros a year). “I pay my vacations, I pay my plane tickets, I pay my restaurants. Can the government president say the same? And my house paid me,” he defended.
According to the Community of Madrid, the visit is one according to a spokesman, the Chalet “has become the headquarters of government meetings of the Government and the Ministry of Environment, to which it is attached (three meetings have been held to date). It has a stay area for the members of the Governing Council that require it within their persons of guard, as well as the president of the Community of Madrid, since it brings together the security and privacy conditions required by His security and escort service, ”explained this spokesman.
The Community of Madrid has clarified that the farm belongs to the Ministry of Environment -through its General Directorate of Biodiversity. Which has 453 hectares of extension, where the aforementioned Chalet and an eating hermitage is located, in addition to an old serrería that will be used by public employees. And that the whole set was acquired exercising the right of retracting paying 4.3 million euros “for its high ecological value and because there was the circumstance that it was put on sale for an individual,” said the Minister of the Environment, Carlos Novillo, who accompanied the president the day he referred to the issue.
The property in which Ayuso was now staying was bought by his own government in October 2023. The seller was an old owner of the historic Cortefiel clothing stores, Juan Luis Hinojosa Fernández de Angulo, who had put his farm of 453 hectares for sale, where that villa is located.
The Hinojosa family is known for being one of the greatest owners of hunting preserves in Spain. The community decided to exercise its right of tanteo (preferential acquisition) to annex the land to the Guadarrama National Park, whose territory in the Madrid region —21,714 hectares – is managed by the regional executive.
