Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, has denied the figure of 7,291 deaths in Madrid's care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, labeling it an 'invention' by former Social Policies Minister Alberto Reyero. She presented a revised figure of 4,100 deaths, contradicting data previously published on the regional government's Transparency Portal in 2020. Ayuso defended her administration's pandemic management, accusing the central government and left-wing parties of 'manipulation' and 'instrumentalizing' the tragedy. She criticized Pedro Sánchez's government, claiming '130,000 deaths rest on Sánchez's shoulders' due to its handling of the pandemic. Judicial rulings have reportedly supported Ayuso's stance on care home management. The controversy coincides with the release of the documentary '7291,' which examines deaths in Madrid's care homes and protocols from March 2020 that allegedly restricted hospital transfers. The documentary's director has defended its accuracy, citing official documents and testimonies. Ayuso demanded RTVE broadcast a video highlighting her administration's response, but RTVE rejected the request, citing editorial independence. Opposition parties, including Más Madrid and PSOE, have condemned Ayuso's statements and demanded her resignation, accusing her of denying the reality of the victims and failing to take responsibility. The debate has intensified scrutiny over the policies implemented in Madrid's care homes during the pandemic.
