His words have been highly criticized by other users of the social network, highlighting the cut of Oscar Puente, former mayor of Valladolid and recently appointed Minister of Transport: “So Madrid that her funeral will be held in the Cathedral of Valladolid and will have his eternal rest in the Pantheon of Illustrious Vallisoletanos in the Carmen cemetery in Valladolid.”
The publication has garnered much more criticism, accusing the mayor of Madrid of wanting to centralize everything in the city: “The best Valladolid women, those from Madrid”, “You want to appropriate even the deceased for Madrid“, “But what the hell are you saying? A lifelong Pucelana and defender of her origins and her city”, or “It was from Valladolid, not from Madrid! Narcissist.”
