Ayuso marks seven years with tax cuts and record employment in Madrid

Published on May 26, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Isabel Díaz Ayuso celebrates seven years at the helm of the Community of Madrid with a record that includes 34 tax cuts since 2019, the elimination of own taxes, and economic growth that now represents 19.8% of national GDP. The region has generated 670,000 jobs and the birth rate rose by 3.3%, although protected housing remains a pending issue.

Drones and Industrial Plan 2026/30: Madrid's Technological Bet 🚀

The Industrial Plan 2026/30 and the Drone Strategy are the Community's new assets to maintain economic leadership. The goal is to attract technological investment, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and promote educational freedom as a driver of talent. The idea is for Madrid to compete as a digital hub without raising taxes, relying on private initiative and the elimination of administrative barriers for companies and freelancers.

Protected Housing: The Eternal Challenge No One Solves with Magic Wands 🏠

Ayuso promises more protected housing, but in Madrid, apartments remain as hard to find as a politician who takes a pay cut. With 34 tax cuts, the taxpayer's wallet breathes easier, but the tenant's still does apnea exercises. At least the birth rate is rising: it seems that Madrileños, faced with a lack of housing, have decided to populate their parents' homes.
