Madrid voters called fools: The Burbuja.info debate
The El Mundo poll for the 2026 elections shows Ayuso losing only two seats, yet on Burbuja.info the discussion isn't about the absolute majority, but whether Madrid residents deserve the label of fools. 173 replies in 23 days have turned this question into a thermometer of frustration with Madrid politics.
Votes not bought with seats
While the poll shows Ayuso saving her majority by one seat, forum users argue whether those voting for the president do so out of conviction or lack of alternatives. A majority sector claims Madrid residents are accomplices to mass immigration by voting for a party that doesn't stop foreign arrivals. Others defend that Madrid managed the pandemic best and remains the least bad option compared to the rest. One user summarizes the divide: "Ayuso is the Pedro Sánchez of the right."
Immigration and third-worldization: the real problem
The thread fills with complaints about the "third-worldization" of Madrid, accompanied by tweets and memes showing Ayuso embracing Latin American groups. One user states "Madrid fell long ago," while another sarcastically replies "115% of Madrid residents are fools." Immigration is the core of the debate: some see it as the origin of decline, others as an excuse to avoid discussing politicians' management.
Is there an alternative to Ayuso?
Vox appears as the "least bad" option, but some recall that "no active politician can do anything or wants to clean up Spain." The left is barely mentioned, except to be described as "disfigured." The debate drifts toward resignation: "We are lost. They have stolen our country forever."
The thread doesn't resolve if Madrid voters are fools, but clearly shows growing dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, Ayuso continues governing with a one-seat margin. For how long?
