Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of the Community of Madrid, has publicly defended the mayor of Móstoles, who is facing accusations of sexual harassment. Amidst these allegations, Ayuso suggested that the claims are a politically motivated attempt by the PSOE to undermine the mayor in light of internal scandals. This support comes after recordings surfaced that could be damaging to the mayor, though Ayuso condemned them as part of a personal vendetta against him.

Ayuso's remarks followed a series of communications that the accuser had with the leadership of the Madrid PP, which has put pressure on the party to respond to the scandal. Despite the backlash, Ayuso has characterized the situation as an orchestrated attack aimed at covering up other political issues, particularly facing the PSOE. Her comments reflect the deep political divisions in Madrid, especially considering the upcoming elections.

The case demonstrates the volatile intersection of politics and allegations of sexual misconduct within local governance in Spain. Ayuso's strong stance for the mayor signals potential repercussions for the PP and its handling of sexual harassment claims, as well as the ongoing struggle for women's rights in political spaces, highlighting the challenges faced by female leaders in navigating such controversies.
