Laughter and more laughs. The act that the PP celebrated yesterday in the Retiro park was a party. Despite having before it the challenge of recovering the presidency of the Government, the Popular Party continues to party after the results obtained on 28-M and, proof of this, were the jokes of the mayor of Madrid and the president of the Community who , he assured, he has to “accept that now there is another between you and me”, alluding to the councilor’s couple.
The anecdote happened at the beginning of the act. At the end of his speech, and accelerated by the enthusiasm installed in the PP, the Madrid councilor gave way to its national leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, offering his infantry to go out on 23-J to win. Nothing special if it weren’t for the fact that the next person to speak was not the Galician, but Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
Almeida jumped back to the podium and corrected his mistake: “Lately, and given my sentimental state, I have to improve my ways. Being single has harmed me and has stultified me and I had forgotten to introduce my partner,” said the mayor. who has already introduced his partner, Teresa Urquijo, in society.
The attendees, including Feijóo or the general secretary of the popular, Cuca Gamarra, laughed out loud. But nothing compared to what came next. Ayuso went up to the lectern and picked up the glove to slide: “Dear José Luis, I am not going to take it into account even though I have to accept that now there is another between you and me.”
A joke that the mayor humorously accepted, applauding Ayuso’s joke and acknowledging that it had been “very good”.
At the age of 26, Teresa Urquijo y Moreno is becoming a figure related to Madrid’s high politics after appearing publicly with the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida at his inauguration last Saturday.
Until now Teresa Urquijo y Moreno had only been shown in events of other characteristics, such as the press run in Las Ventas. But in Cibeles she made the premiere of her in a political act.
