The absence of the president of the Community of Madrid,

Isabel Díaz Ayuso

, in

Telemadrid

during the weekend in which the storm Filomena has devastated the region has been striking.

"Telemadrid has requested interviews with her on Saturday, Sunday and Monday," sources from the regional public television have assured this newspaper, recalling that the president has not granted interviews to the medium since last October.

The aforementioned sources explain to EL MUNDO that Ayuso declined the invitation during the weekend, but they do not give more details of the reasons offered by the president, who, on the other hand, has granted interviews during this weekend to

TVE

,

Telecinco

o

Antenna 3

.

Asked about the absence of Ayuso in the coverage of Telemadrid, Community sources have indicated to this newspaper that the president did enter

Onda Madrid

radio

and recalled that the television channel also offered the official appearance that the leader made on Sunday.

Telemadrid did broadcast live on Sunday, in full, the

press conference that the president

and the Interior and Transport councilors offered late in the afternoon.

The public chain is the one that distributes, in fact, the institutional signal

pool

to all the media and guarantees that these press conferences can reach all interested media.

These days Ayuso granted up to four interviews with Telecinco, and also agreed to give testimony in

Cope, Onda Cero, EsRadio or RNE

.

But he did not speak with Telemadrid.

On the part of the regional government, the autonomic one has had in this crisis with the testimonies the counselors of Interior,

Enrique López

, and Transportes,

Ángel Garrido

.

The mayor of Madrid,

José Luis Martínez Almeida

, the Minister of Transport,

José Luis Ábalos

, and the Minister of Defense,

Margarita Robles

, among other authorities,

have also participated in the different programs to cover the historic snowfall

.

The special coverage deployed by Telemadrid to report on the effects of the storm Filomena has been led by the journalist

Silvia Intxaurrondo

, who was precisely the one who conducted Ayuso's last interview on Telemadrid, last October, and who had moments of special tension between the presenter and politics.

"These are questions that are not asked of a regional president," the president answered at one point during that interview.

The tension between Isabel Díaz Ayuso and Telemadrid has been known for a long time.

The Madrid president said in an interview published by EL MUNDO that she is the "only" regional leader who has "a television that is critical of her."
