The article details the continued political conflict between the Spanish government's delegate in Madrid, Francisco MartÃn, and Madrid's president, Isabel DÃaz Ayuso. MartÃn, despite facing legal proceedings, consistently criticizes Ayuso.
On Europe Day, MartÃn used a social media post by a regional government official to criticize Ayuso for not displaying the EU flag at official events. He contrasted this with a large EU flag Ayuso had previously displayed. MartÃn's response included an image of Ayuso at an event without the EU flag, accompanied by a statement accusing Ayuso of supporting those who oppose the European project.
The conflict extends beyond this specific event. MartÃn previously boasted about increased police presence in Madrid, a claim promptly refuted by the PP's secretary general, Alfonso Serrano, who stated this to be factually incorrect.
The article highlights this as just one instance of numerous disputes between the delegate and Ayuso's PP party, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the political tension.
