The Community of Madrid transmitted a message on Thursday in which it explained that Tomás Díaz Ayuso, brother of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, had received 283,000 euros for four jobs with the Priviet company.

That commercial relationship is in the eye of the hurricane because one of those agreements was with the Administration that the commercial's sister presides over, and reported 55,850 euros plus VAT, causing an internal investigation of the PP that has ended up blowing up the party by causing the departure the president, Pablo Casado, and the general secretary, Teodoro García Egea.

However, once that global figure was transmitted, which coincides with the one publicly denounced by Casado,

The high position at the origin of the contract to the Ayuso's friend: "I had no idea"

Everything happens like this.

In the after-dinner session on Thursday, the program

unleashes chaos at the Real Casa de Correos, seat of the Government of the Community of Madrid.

The professionals from Isabel Díaz Ayuso's communication team who monitor the gatherings hear that the president's brother is credited with a profit of hundreds of thousands of euros thanks to contracts signed with the regional administration.

Immediately, according to the official version, a well-oiled machinery is activated: a plot is drawn up that is sent to commentators on

and

.

The problem?

That the first point of that text validates the figure that Pablo Casado gave for Tomás Díaz Ayuso's earnings: "This company is invoiced for a total amount of 283,000 euros in 2020. This is substantiated in four invoices, corresponding to four different jobs."

El Confidencial

advances the news.

"The CAM confirms that Ayuso's brother charged 227,150 euros more from Priviet," it headlines, subtracting from the total 283,000 euros the 55,850 that Tomás Díaz Ayuso charged for the Priviet contract with the Community of Madrid to bring masks for 1.5 million .

And the storm is unleashed in the Royal Post Office, which with this argument re-introduces into the news cycle an issue that had been ignored by the PP civil war, also giving data on the private activity of the president's brother of Madrid, which had given orders to avoid it.

Soon a partial attempt at clarification arrives that cannot be denied.

“It is not an official statement.

If it were, it would bear the seal of the Community and would have been distributed through official channels.

It is an explanatory message”, they transmit from Sol. But the argument exists.

And it comes from the Royal Post Office.

And he puts what he puts.

So what has happened?

“Through a text, we try to explain that the global amount that (the commentators) are talking about, that we have never talked about, and that we are unaware of, is part of a global, complete billing, and for 2020, of the brother with the company, and that there is only a contract of 55,000 euros with Madrid”, they explain from the Madrid government.

“Why do we put 283,000?

Because it is the data that is being handled in that gathering at that time, which we neither confirm nor deny.

We do not know how much the other three invoices amount to, we cannot know it, and we would never give that information, ”they add.

"No one has told us, it is information between an individual and a company that has nothing to do with the Community of Madrid."

The argument, whose content is reproduced below, spreads like wildfire through the gossips of Madrid, while the telephones of Díaz Ayuso's collaborators do not stop ringing, transmitting requests for clarifications.

“On the information that continues to come out regarding the Priviet Sportive contract:

▶️ Tomás Díaz Ayuso invoices this company for a total amount of 283,000 euros in 2020. This is substantiated in four invoices, corresponding to four different jobs.

▶️ Of these four invoices, only one of them has to do with a Madrid Community contract.

That invoice is €55,850, plus VAT.

All information about it has been made public.

▶️ The invoice to Priviet Sportive is not a commission for obtaining the contract from the Administration, but the collection of the steps taken to obtain the material in China and its transfer to Madrid.

That is, it is a consideration for their work.

Why have the other three invoices not been published or reported?

They are not contracts that are related to the Community of Madrid and, therefore, we cannot and should not give details of the activity of a company that has nothing to do with the Administration”.

The volume of the controversy has been of such caliber that it has forced the government spokesman, Enrique Ossorio, to intervene this Friday.

"That figure is not known to us", he said, specifying the following about the three invoices outside the Community: "Other figures are not known to us and belong to the privacy of other companies (...) We are reaching an absolute paroxysm, those contracts are with other companies, if those companies have nothing to do with the Community of Madrid, why do these companies have to be seen in public opinion?

I think we're going too far."
