    • 2021 May 4, Carlos E. Cué, “Ayuso arrasa en Madrid”, in El País[1]:
      Las cosas han cambiado mucho en el PP actual, pero el esquema se repite de alguna manera. Ayuso arrasa y tiene todo el poder en Madrid, la comunidad más rica y la que más peso político y mediático acumula, al ser la capital política y financiera y la sede de los principales medios de comunicación del país.
