Ayuso, the penthouse case and PP backing 9 days in discussion

Editorial summary

Ayuso faces fresh pressure over the penthouse affair, while her attacks on Sánchez fail to answer the accusations around her own conduct. Silence from Feijóo and other PP leaders feeds the sense that Madrid power now weakens the party rather than shields it.
