The chief of staff of Isabel Díaz Ayuso prevented a journalist from La Sexta from approaching the president of Madrid after the inauguration of Alfonso Fernández Mañueco
The spokeswoman for Más Madrid, Mónica García, registered this Tuesday the request to appear in the Regional Assembly of Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, the director of the Cabinet of the Presidency of the Community of Madrid, to report “on the treatment given to the press” . García wants Rodríguez to explain the incident that occurred with a journalist from La Sexta who prevented her from approaching Isabel Díaz Ayuso, after the inauguration of the president of the Junta de Catilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco.
The events occurred when the reporter approached the president of the Community of Madrid to ask a question. After insisting on Ayuso’s refusal to answer about the absence of Alberto Núñez Feijóo at the investiture, the director of the Cabinet of the Presidency of the Community of Madrid appears to reproach the journalist for her attitude. Rodríguez separates Andrea Ropero, while saying that Ayuso has already made statements. For a moment, the journalist leaves the plane after the action of the adviser to the president of the Madrid community.
“You don’t need to push me,” the reporter replied. “I have not pushed her,” insisted the director of the Cabinet. “What is not necessary is that you make a fool of yourself,” he added. Given these words, Andrea Ropero insisted that there is no need to push. “I touched his arm,” Rodriguez replied. After the exchange of words, the journalist explained that she was only asking Ayuso, in “a place where I can do it.” The adviser to the president of the Madrid Community complained that this corridor was not enabled, but rather that “it was downstairs”, referring to another floor of the Cortes de Castilla y León. “We have been authorized to ask questions here,” the reporter insisted.

Later, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez left the place while insisting that he did not push the reporter, who replied to the advisor that the action “is recorded.” “Take it out, like every day”, was the response of the director of the Cabinet of the Presidency of the Community of Madrid.
Likewise, Mónica García, who reported the request to appear on Twitter, also published another message on the same social network where she has shown her support for the journalist in the face of “intolerable behavior.” “She is deplorable,” added her party partner, Íñigo Errejón.
