Ayuso returns with controversy to the Faculty where he was born in politics: "He said that he was neither from the left nor from the right" and he already became "anti podemita"

• The students call a protest against the appointment of Ayuso as an illustrious student: "It is a scandal"

The controversy announces tidal wave cum laude in Ciudad Universitaria.

"I met the entire

movement at the Faculty and they were the same, paralyzing everything," Isabel Díaz Ayuso has launched in her few references to her university stage.

And this Tuesday, that phrase is put to the test.

Groups of students, teachers and workers promote

as an Illustrious Alumni of the Complutense University.

Unlike the other seven honored, the distinction is not based on a vote by the Board of the Faculty of Information Sciences, but is promoted directly by the rector,

.

And that processing is the origin of a dispute that also serves as a journey through time to discover Ayuso's own origin as a politician.

It all started and was defined there.

She arrived at the faculty between left-right doubts and came out aligned with the liberal-conservative wing of the PP.

There

She graduated and added a Master's in Political Communication and Protocol;

she did her PhD and her dissertation, but not her thesis.

In one of those investigations, she had the first contact with

, President Aznar's right-hand man.

They would meet again two decades later on an AVE and today he is the differential strategist of the Ayuso phenomenon.

"University politics and university life are the best thing that has happened to me in life," she stressed on the Bertín Osborne program.

On the political rivals of her youth she launched:

The current regional leader of the PP exercised her first

"Ayuso hesitated between the PSOE and PP, but he went to the right, but the civilized right,"

He has a quarter of a century of experience in the matter.

Raúl Camargo remembers: «The first year I saw her withdrawn, but she started letting go.

Both we and they did passaclases, to recount our program.

With 20 years, to enter a classroom to speak in public or to speak before the professors in the Faculty Board, you cannot be very shy.

The first year I was the most voted and the second swept her.

She

, and began to be known, which can be in an election where she voted 15% ».

Indeed, most of the students passed through the faculty oblivious to politics, but its protagonists lived it fiercely.

This clandestinity is confirmed by a former student who coincided with Ayuso in an internship: «I did not hear from her again until one day I saw her photo on the EL MUNDO website.

I sent the image of her to the WhatsApp group of my college friends, and

, just a couple.

And that pair of hers remembered her, precisely, for her participation in

, a weekly program from the late 90s on Radio Voz.

"We prepared reports on the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, on cutting in Africa...", says another of her colleagues from the station, with roots from Avila like the president herself.

«I remember that she liked the radio a lot and she got involved.

Ayuso, after that first great national controversy about "Madrid traffic jams" as a "sign of identity", which made her a political figure beyond Madrid in her first campaign, clarified: "I hate traffic jams, but

Therefore, we will not deny her affection, but we discovered that she showed the same energy at dawn.

In an article in La Razón, entitled "Alta Voz", Urosa recognized the patronage of Altavoz and said of Ayuso: "I remember his shyness, his humility, his affable character and his willingness to help and participate in all the soirees we organized.

Camargo points to Urosa himself as a

She would not join until 2005, with Pablo Casado as president of Nuevas Generaciones, but she was already trained.

«We would see each other in the corridors or in meetings and maintain an attitude of rivalry.

We had quite a few confrontations, because she was in the right-wing association, although they said they were not right-wing, and we were in the left-wing one, which we did say was left-wing.

And there are also images in the newspaper archive, passing through the Faculty of Information Sciences, of a demonstration that came from Law in protest against a fascist attack in 1998. Those beaten had removed a banner thanking

That past tense would be the one that led Ayuso to proclaim: «I met the generation of Pablo Iglesias,

A somewhat hyperbolic appreciation, but it does seem like years of premonitory polarization.

Regarding his political adversaries, Camargo affirms: «

That opinion also has a basis, since it is the immediate period of Gustavo Villapalos, linked to the Legionaries of Christ and rector until 1995, when he became Minister of Education of Gallardón.

Under his mandate, the Rey Juan Carlos University was founded.

He remains active on that front, without public office, "with the same ideas since I came to the university."

Nor has Ayuso changed, since he left.

"A fascinating change" had taken place at the faculty, he acknowledged to Bertín Osborne, towards "the liberal message."

He did not insist on reporting.

"If your last name is Díaz being a journalist, as is my case, you have nowhere to drop dead."

He spent four months in a production company in Ecuador and a year in a formula radio, type 40 Principales, in Ireland, before his first political contract, in 2006. Isabelita, said Aguirre -yesterday they hugged in an act of the PP-, climbed the rung a rung to the top.

This was argued by the rector.

When the Rectorate informed of the 8 new illustrious UCM Alumni (Rafa Antón, Almudena Ariza, Ángel Expósito, Arturo Pérez Reverte, the actor Antonio de la Torre, formerly of Canal Sur; Xurxo Torres, Miguel Trillo and Ayuso), the Faculty of Sciences of Information qualified:

Critics - a vice-chancellor has already resigned - question from the process the merits of Ayuso as a journalist or her policy with public services.
