On November 5, 2025, in Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who heads the autonomous community, unveiled new housing initiatives. However, public attention quickly shifted not only to the new support measures but also to her headline-making statement regarding the ongoing legal proceedings involving the Attorney General.
In a radio interview, the regional leader voiced concern about how the situation is unfolding around the allegations against one of the country’s top judicial officials. In her view, it is now especially important that everyone involved in the process—from judges to journalists—acts with the utmost integrity and does not allow political interests to influence the case. She stressed that only a fair and impartial review of the circumstances can strengthen public trust in government institutions.
Ayuso also seized the opportunity to once again criticize Pedro Sánchez’s government, accusing it of attempts to pressure the independence of the judiciary. According to her, any effort to use justice for political ends could have serious consequences for the entire country. She insists that the truth must be established, and the law applied without exception.
Meanwhile, on the same day at the Real Casa de Correos building, Ayuso unveiled a new anti-crisis housing plan for 2026–2027. Madrid authorities aim to increase housing access for young families and vulnerable groups, as well as to speed up the construction of new developments. Despite the importance of these initiatives, the political agenda was set by her tough stance on the judicial proceedings against the Attorney General.
The situation surrounding the investigation remains at the forefront of Spanish media and political debate. Many observers note that Ayuso’s statements may strengthen public demand for transparency and fairness in government institutions. In the coming weeks, developments are expected that could affect not only the fate of certain officials but also the balance of power between branches of government in Spain.
