Isabel DÃaz Ayuso, the conservative president of the Madrid region who inflicted a stinging defeat on her leftwing opponents in Tuesdayâs snap election, has vowed to carry on acting as a âcounterweightâ to Spainâs Socialist-led coalition government.
Although her Peopleâs party more than doubled its seat count and won more seats than the three leftwing parties combined, Ayuso fell just short of an absolute majority, meaning she will have to rely on the support of the far-right Vox party to form a new regional government.
On Wednesday morning, Ayuso made it plain that she was not planning to abandon the combative tone that has characterised her handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the tense and bitter election campaign.
