Tourism in Madrid is experiencing the best moment in its history

Tourism in Madrid is experiencing the best moment in its history, while the president of the government and his ministers, with the minister of transport at the head, do everything possible to destroy it.
The black week of the railway in Spain endangers our permanence in the world top of tourism.
During the pandemic, we were very concerned about the future of tourism due to the attitude of the government and we denounced it in two essays with suggestive titles: “The beginning and the end of the Spanish tourist empire” and “2020 The decline and fall of the hispanic tourist empire”, dangerous circumstances that avoided its consequences, the brave and professional attitude of Isabel Díaz Ayuso who, by saving tourism in Madrid with her measures, saved Spanish tourism and we reflect this in a third essay “2022 The rebellion of the taverns”.
FITUR, the world’s leading tourism fair, ended yesterday and the thousands of foreign operators who visited us take away two images: the first is that Madrid is unstoppable, has an extraordinary tourist offer in all segments, adding this year Formula 1, and the second, that the railway infrastructure, including what was the “jewel in the crown” the AVE (which if it arrived more than five minutes late they would refund your ticket), collapsed due to lack of maintenance, investment and systemic corruption of the government, having the “feeling” true or false but feeling in the end, that it is not safe to travel through Spain both by train and by road, luckily we have the plane.
The world is surprised by what happened this week, they cannot believe the image of Third World insecurity that we are giving, I personally am not surprised at all, it is the inevitable consequence of what is happening at the national level.
What could we expect from the management of a government that lost the elections and governs by an alchemy in Congress with pro-independence supporters who hate Spain, Caribbean communists and heirs of the murderous ETA gang, without budgets, with the only total blackout in the entire territory of history due to its incompetence, closing nuclear power plants and demolishing dams backed by slogans of the college bar of the 70s, with more than two hundred dead due to the overflow of a ravine due to the criminal ideology of its environmental area, with a road and railway infrastructure that is falling apart, with half of the government on trial for corruption and also with the president’s family on trial for corruption without anyone being held accountable or resigning.
We know that the communists (although many live from it), hate tourism, because tourism is freedom, so as long as this government continues there is no hope, we will continue without restraint towards the gorge, only justice and the ballot boxes can save us, let’s hope that when they arrive it will not be too late.
Moments after publishing this note we received from the newspaper El Mundo a piece of news: “… one of the conditions set by Aitor Esteban’s PNV to continue supporting Sánchez is the cession of the two paradores in the Basque Country: Argómaniz (Álava) and Fuenterrabía (Guipúzcoa)…”, the issue is clear, they destroy the infrastructure and empty the Spanish tourist heritage so that it is part of the future republics of the “Third Plurinational Republic” and as always the PNV first in line.
