Isabel Díaz Ayuso (Spanish pronunciation: [isaˈβel ˈdi.aθ aˈʝuso]; born 17 October 1978) is a Spanish politician who serves as the President of the Community of Madrid.[1] A member of the People's Party (PP), and the Vice Secretary of Communication and Spokeswoman of the party's Madrilenian branch,[2] she was the regional candidate for President of the Community of Madrid ahead of the 2019 Madrilenian regional election.[3][4] Although her party lost the regional elections for the first time since the restoration of democracy in Spain, she was later elected President by the Assembly of Madrid. Her administration represented several firsts: it was the first time that the region is run by a coalition government – formed by Ayuso’s own conservative People's Party (PP) and the centrist Citizens – and it will be the first time that the far right, represented by Vox, props up a regional executive in Madrid.[5]
During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Spain, she announced on 16 March that she was tested positive for the disease.[6]
