The president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has urged to maintain in 2022 the "fighter" character to continue being "the engine of our lives and of the nation", has asked that the disagreement not degenerate into polarization and has appealed to unity to leave forward against the "only enemy" to fight, "the virus."

Ayuso has launched this message in his New Year's Eve speech, broadcast on Telemadrid and recorded before the traditional nativity scene that is installed in the courtyard of the Royal Post Office, headquarters of the regional government in the central Puerta del Sol, the place "where you hear and mix, right now, all the accents of Spanish: from all regions and from all parts of the world. "

In a 2021 in which his Government, he said, has continued to fight against the virus and "in favor of families, companies, the self-employed, employment, tourism, hotels or public services," Ayuso stressed that Madrilenians have made an effort of "vitality, joy and drive" that has made people talk about Madrid "in the world."

"And they speak well", he continued, because "companies, investors and visitors look to Madrid as an example of attitude in the face of adversity", with measures that "have served as a model inside and outside of Spain".

"The vitality of the streets reveals that, in the midst of everything, freedom and responsibility as a model correspond to our way of being. When asked:" Freedom for what? "We Spaniards have it clear: to live" , has underlined.

In front of those who "want us dependent, sad and complaining", in Madrid "we are happy, fighters and we do not want to depend on anyone, but to be the engine of our lives and the nation, an example for Europe and the world. We want to be an opportunity and not a burden. "

"As long as the fight against the epidemic lasts, and whatever difficulties come, we will continue fighting and we will not lose hope," he promised.

The president has reviewed her policies on education, social welfare, family, housing, transportation, justice or taxation, but above all she has reiterated her commitment to improving public health and has had words of appreciation for the professionals who are " on the front line "these days," in emergencies and in primary care. Without them, where would we be? ", he acknowledged.

Ayuso has appealed to unity, because that is what will allow us to move forward.

"Disagreement should not degenerate into polarization, nor concern into boredom or bad humor. We Madrilenians have shown impressive dignity these months, all of us: don't forget us."

"The only enemy in these long months has been the virus. And that is how it must continue to be," insisted the president, who has called for unity, "to preserve joy," "to help those who suffer or have been discouraged to find inspiration and the illusion for life "or to take care of people" abused, exploited, the vulnerable, those who have lost their job, their company, or a family member. "

"These are our efforts for 2022, which I would like all of us to share," added Ayuso.

The president has promised to continue "defending our history of miscegenation in the world, the unity of Spain, solidarity among Spaniards, the Constitution and the Crown, thanks to which we have lived some of the best decades of our national history."

"You are not alone; despite the difficulties we have many reasons for joy and hope. Let us continue working together, welcoming, joyful, and full of this vitality that surprises everyone," he invited.
