“This is Almeida, arrival in 1950.” This is how Rita Maestre reacted to the anecdote that the mayor of Madrid told about the last “romantic detail” he had with his wife, Teresa Urquijo.
José Luis Martínez-Almeida said in an interview with El Hormiguero that he recently decided to surprise his wife and remove the clothes hanging on the folding clothesline that he usually places in his kitchen. “Romantic could be sending flowers, giving a book, or doing things she would never expect you to do,” he defended. “The Romeo of Madrid” quipped one of the program’s ants.
Rita Maestre criticized this vision of romanticism on the part of the mayor: “I imagine that in his head it sounded spectacular,” she declared in a message published in X at the same time as the video in which she told it .
The PSOE spokesperson at City Hall, Reyes Maroto, was harsher than her Más Madrid counterpart and assured that the mayor was “embarrassing” with these comments. “Machirulo level 100” he said to close a message also published in X.
The reactions of opposition spokespersons in the Municipal Council are not the only ones that Almeida’s remarks have provoked. “Almeida’s romantic detail is picking up his underwear so that one day his wife doesn’t have to do it,” the president is told.
To look at you with tenderness
I learned since I was little
Because you are pure glory
Because you are pure glory
Madrid cocidito
