Martínez-Almeida: "For love I am very classic. Chopping stone. No Tinder"

• Borja Sémper: "The 'handsome officer' of Spanish politics? It was worse when they called me a murderer and a fascist"

José Luis Martínez-Almeida Navascués León and Castillo Cobián Nacarino Sánchez-Ocaña.

With this name you leave me without oxygen and we have already filled half an interview, Mr. Mayor. Surnames are not lacking, no, and I am proud of my family.

They are my legacy, I have achieved everything thanks to them. Does being the youngest of six siblings give you character? In a large family, having five ahead of you in order to open the fridge and see what is left for dinner, to get a seat in the sofa, for the shift in the bathroom... That makes you stronger.

To pass a State Bar exam at the age of 26, do you have to be a textbook nerd or a daredevil? I never studied too much, and my Law grades weren't particularly brilliant. I just dropped a myth... I don't wanted to oppose, I did it because my parents asked me to try it.

And life as an opponent is very easy.

If you think about it, you just have to sleep, eat, study, sleep, eat, study... Nothing more.

It's pure and hard routine. And they tell me about those routines, these manias... Since then I have to leave the clothes for the next day ready.

When I eat, I move the plates and cutlery to arrange them to my liking.

And I have to finish the stairs on the right foot. So we don't find a girlfriend, Mr. Mayor.

Are we still fighting? We must never give up the search for beautiful things.

What are your methods for the exchanges of love? Well, breaking stone.

I am very classic.

Nothing about Tinder. The erotic of power, does it exist or is it an invention of Spielberg? I have received compliments that I never thought could be said to me. I give it five seconds to sell it. I guess I'm good people. That's why the mothers-in-law like you so much. But not the daughters... And now the contracting party of the first part.

I mean, a flaw. Sometimes I'm not the most emotionally intelligent guy to know how other people are doing.

I don't know how to put myself in another's place. What has been a lack of empathy... Yes.

Maybe I should tune up a bit there. With your permission, I'm going to give the interview a swerve.

You have never hidden your

.

What does she have that

?First, he signed Almeida for politics.

And above all, his ideological model, with whom I identify.

She was the first to defend the reduction of taxes or the liberalization of business hours.

Today nobody would understand that on a Sunday you could not buy in Madrid.

The day you released this dispatch, what was the first thing that came to your mind? I thought: "Don't fuck with me, I've gotten myself into such a mess!" cruelty, of being on target... Instead of a town hall, this looks like a part of war.

Honestly: is it worth it? There are very hard days when I come home and ask myself: is it worth it?

You are constantly in the

, as that said, practically any hint of intimacy is lost and you have to make very complicated balances with the decisions that are made. And you are not at your best moment... No, and more so when it is taking place such an unfair lynching. With the happy contracts, was everything really done scrupulously well? I understand the exotic elements: Luis Medina, the

, yachts.

But here we are harmed and I am exonerated from any responsibility on the part of the Prosecutor's Office. I insist: the political tension is reaching levels that are not very edifying.

Today it's the masks, tomorrow the ores, after Madrid Central... Shouldn't someone put the brakes on? If we politicians are a problem for citizens, and there are the polls, we should make ourselves look at it. Is he intoning the

?

It will not make us a Ratzinger... At the moment there is no title of mayor emeritus.

I suggest you take the first step.

A compliment to Pedro Sánchez? In the international arena, Pedro Sánchez handles himself very well. He You cried at the Vicente Calderón.

And as mayor? I haven't cried, but the day I visited the Ice Palace, when I saw 400 coffins one after another... There I was about to collapse. With Isabel Díaz Ayuso, okay? Great.

We've been through a lot together.

We both endured a campaign of harassment in which she was the

and I was the

, we dealt with a terrible pandemic... The relationship has intensified over time. To have a few

, for example? As much as to go out for drinks, no.

But there is a friendship. Have you lost friends in politics? Yes.

But I've also done some new ones... There are a few days left until this interview is published.

You won't give me a last minute surprise, will you?

A Prosecutor's Office, a Filomena.... As far as I know, I don't have any romantic dates, so I hope not.
