In the Spanish capital, an unexpected incident occurred during a festive service dedicated to the city’s patroness—the Virgen de la Almudena. The president of the Madrid autonomous community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, began to feel unwell and was forced to leave the event. An ambulance was called to transport the regional leader, ensuring the fastest and safest possible transfer.
According to Ayuso’s inner circle, her condition was not considered serious, but doctors decided not to take any chances. Interestingly, just the day before, the politician had already missed an important party event in Andalusia for a similar reason. Despite feeling unwell, she still appeared outside the Madrid cathedral in the morning, where she spoke with journalists and shared her plans for the day.
However, shortly after arriving at the event, the regional head’s condition worsened. The ceremony organizers and security staff reacted quickly, escorting Ayuso to the ambulance. Those present in the square were surprised by what was happening, as there had been no signs of trouble until that moment.
The festive mass in honor of the Virgen de la Almudena draws countless residents and visitors to Madrid every year. This time, public attention was focused not only on the religious event but also on the health of one of the country’s most prominent politicians. The administration is expected to provide updates soon on Ayuso’s condition and her plans moving forward.
