"Isabel Díaz Ayuso asked for freedom,

kept the regional economy going

and won big at the polls." With that phrase begins the interview that

The Wall Street Journal

has conducted with the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. In it they highlight their

"common sense in the face of Covid"

and how, thanks to this, it became a kind of "culinary sensation", appearing on the label of a craft beer to baptizing a plate in a bar.

"We were the region that warned the rest of Spain that

we had to act

against Covid because no decisions were being made," Ayuso points out to this American media, evoking how in the fall of 2020 the cases increased again. And he adds: "When everyone asked to close, without alternatives, we decided to go against the virus,

not against the people

."

The interview, entitled "Madrid, the city that does not close", emphasizes how the president of the region

swept the 4-M elections

, "ending with a million more votes than her closest competitor" . "She has become

the most prominent conservative politician in Spain

, and there is speculation about her as a possible rival for the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez," continues

The Wall Street Journal

.

This medium has also echoed the tensions between the regional leader and the leader of her party, Pablo Casado, although Ayuso denied the US newspaper an interest "beyond his current job."

And he adds in the same interview: "As soon as I finish here,

I will be a journalist again

."

"I believe in freedom in all aspects of life. And I am against everything that tyrannizes and enslaves the person, against addictions, against the division between man and woman, left-right, rich-poor ...

That is what communist ideology tends to do

, always seeking to collectivize the person and control them from above, "he says in the interview.

And he concludes: "Responsibility and freedom is what I think there should be".
