MADRID, 7 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Minister of Science and Innovation, Diana Morant, has responded to criticism from the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, of the Government for locating new headquarters, which she accused of "breaking down the machinery of a clock", replying that "Madrid has a clock subsidized by the Government of Spain".

"He does not know where it will go, what he does know is that it will harm Madrid. Here is the ecosystem of companies, universities and FP around this industry. It is like breaking down the machinery of a clock. Decapitalizing Madrid is outrageous," he said. complained the Madrid leader.

Given this, the Minister of Science has assured that "Madrid will be able to present itself" to the process to determine the headquarters of this new body, although she has insisted that "it is a democratic anomaly" that there is a high concentration of the General State Administration in the capital of Spain.

In this context, Diana Morant pointed out that Madrid in scientific matters is the second community that receives the most investment, behind the Basque Country, but, as she has said, "if the investment made by State agencies is taken away, it becomes the third from bottom in investment".

"Mrs. Ayuso has a clock in Madrid subsidized by the Government of Spain," stressed the Minister of Science, who immediately proclaimed that "the rest of the autonomous communities also have the right to host certain venues."
