Ayuso attacks in London against the "confiscatory policy" of the Government: "Sánchez expels the investment"

"The government's confiscatory policy makes investors back,"

declared before a large group of financiers in London and as the culmination of her three-day tour in the British capital.

"We have verified that there is great interest because they know that Madrid is different, but decisions such as those of "capping" prices or creating new taxes are something that those who want to move their investments do not like."

The president of the Community of Madrid, who had to cancel some of her events due to health problems, recovered in time for her long-awaited final speech at the Santander UK headquarters.

Díaz Ayuso reminded more than 70 British investors of the struggle that the regional government maintains with the Government of Pedro Sánchez before the Constitutional Court (because of the tax on large fortunes).

"In the Community of Madrid we are in favor of a fair fiscal policy, which is not confiscatory, which creates stability for companies and which results in the generation of employment", declared the president of the CAM after her speech.

"We do not promote wild capitalism: we believe that taxes must be paid, but they cannot be unfair, and above all, you cannot change the rules of the game in the middle of the game and create legal uncertainty."

"The Sánchez government expels investors," Ayuso stressed to the media.

"It is not possible to point out businessmen and companies with their names and surnames, as they have done with

and with supermarkets.

It may seem romantic to behave like Robin Hood, but you can't play with other people's money and with the opportunities of young people, which is what the government is doing."

Madrid's success

Facing investors, Díaz Ayuso alternated the message of "Madrid is different" and "Madrid is a great success", recalling the history of the Popular Party in the CAM and emphasizing that it is the only regional government that has eliminated its own taxes and boasting of having attracted more than 64% of foreign investment in Spain.

"Our ties can with Brexit and with much more," declared Ayuso, after recalling the relationship that dates back to the adventures of the first Duke of Buckingham in Madrid.

"We need to strengthen our partnerships to continue to attract businesses to our community, offer incentives to families, and provide a safe environment."

"Brexit is still perceived as a hard blow, at least in the short term," Díaz Ayuso acknowledged afterwards.

"Above all, it has been a brake for the youngest, who for the most part did not want it. But we have to overcome the difficulties that decisions like this put into motion."

"After the concern of recent times, we know that London and Madrid share an essential role in the history and daily reality of Europe, even though one of the two has formally ceased to be in the European Union," added the regional leader, in a speech in Spanish but with a very direct reference to the meaning of the word "liberal" in both languages ​​and its connotation of "liberty".

Díaz Ayuso also boasted of having stood up to the

(the bureaucracy) in the Madrid Community, which he defined as "a prosperous, brave and optimistic region", rubbing shoulders with the five most innovative metropolitan areas in Europe, along with London, Paris , Berlin and Dublin.

He defined London as "the best business school in the world" and the lesson he takes back -after visiting the London School of Economics- is the need to "strengthen the ecosystem of universities with companies" and strengthen collaboration between the private and public sectors.

His visit -sponsored by the

and by Invest in Madrid- concluded with a meeting with the director of Microsoft Europe, Cindy Rose.

"Microsoft is going to invest more than 5,300 million euros and create 13,200 jobs in San Sebastián de los Reyes, Meco and Algete," recalled Díaz Ayuso.

"The path of innovation and digitization is the one we have to move forward on, even for SMEs and traditional businesses. My goal for the next legislature is going to be to achieve full employment in our community."
