Ayuso Rejects Kiss from García Amidst Heightened Political Tensions in Madrid

Madrid's political climate heats up as President Ayuso refuses to kiss Mónica García. Tensions flared at the recent Conference of Presidents when Minister García attempted to greet President Ayuso with two kisses on the cheek. Ayuso, visibly uncomfortable, declined the gesture. In a subsequent statement, Ayuso explained her actions, stating, "I don't want to kiss someone who calls us murderers." This statement refers to previous accusations made by García's party, Más Madrid, against Ayuso's PP party. The incident underscores the deep divisions within Madrid's political landscape and highlights the increasingly strained relationship between the two leaders. The brief, yet impactful, exchange serves as a symbol of the broader political tensions in Spain.
