Desde la emblemática Puerta del Sol, reafirmamos nuestro orgullo de ser españoles.
The President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, asserted this Friday the pride of being Spanish «from the Puerta del Sol that knows everything and has seen so many people fight for freedom, universal geniuses, and thousands of anonymous brave individuals.»
The head of the regional government presided over, for the first time in the Puerta del Sol in the capital, the ceremony of awarding the Grand Crosses of the Second of May, where she defended the need for the Spanish version of seeing life, «the one that shines and amazes in Madrid, with all its accents.»
«The feats of the Spaniards throughout centuries of history speak for themselves: we are efficient, imaginative, brave, and always humane. We always feel the eyes of our mothers and grandmothers looking at us from somewhere, reminding us of who raised us,» she emphasized. For this reason, she added, «no one locks us up, extinguishes us, or exposes us to the world. And we will never be cruel, selfish, indifferent, or cowardly.»
Ayuso: «The people of Madrid remain great and vibrant; they demonstrated this a few days ago during the embarrassing blackout»
For the regional president, the people of Madrid are hardworking «as much as anyone else», but «never forgetting the joy of living, those around them, those to come, and that life always means something more.» In this sense, she encouraged, «if anyone doubts that Spain is like this, come to Madrid and listen to this same way of seeing life in all its forms on its streets.»
Ayuso highlighted that «everything that happens in Madrid resonates throughout Spain, Latin America, and the world», just as it did on the 2nd and 3rd of May 1808, and she recalled that «this has been happening since Philip II made Madrid the capital of the Nation.»
Díaz Ayuso: «I know that the Armed Forces will return to the 2nd of May. In Madrid, the Army is loved and admired.»
«On the 2nd of May 1808, we once again became the driving force of Spain and Europe, which was being invaded by a France that surprised and frightened in equal measure. We showed that Napoleon was not invincible. That the united people could do anything, as it had always been in this Roman, Visigothic Hispania, and committed for eight centuries to being European, Western. And as we continue to demonstrate years later,» Ayuso concluded.
