The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has assured that she is going to ask Telemadrid for "austerity" because "it is not an essential public service" and she has to obtain audience quotas to justify her role.

In statements to Es Radio, collected by Europa Press, Ayuso has pointed out that in this new stage the chain, like the rest of organizations that are paid with taxes from Madrid, "justify the accounts . "

"It must be a public service with an audience because a public service without a public is not a service, " Ayuso said to emphasize that he will request "austerity" like the rest of the public sector entities.

The president of the Community of Madrid has indicated that Telemadrid "is no longer an essential public service" and that it has to demonstrate its public facet with audience quotas.

In this regard, he stressed that the regional administration has to "lower the waiting list", improve the Metro network and continue building public services. "The priorities are what they are," he said

Asked about whether he would contemplate closing Telemadrid, he said that "it will be seen" but that it is an issue that does not depend exclusively on the Government since its status is included in a law of the Madrid Assembly.
