The Administrative Court number 14 of Madrid has ruled in favor of the renovation works at the home of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the President of the Community of Madrid, and her partner, businessman Alberto González-Amador.

The court's decision stated that the renovation was 'supported' by a responsible declaration that had been 'properly filed', yet the Madrid City Council 'completely ignored' it when it initiated an administrative procedure for the restoration of urban legality.

The ruling, which has been reported in various outlets, also imposes the responsibility for legal costs on the City of Madrid, although the exact amount has yet to be specified.

The court questioned why the municipal administration insisted on a license for works that were already subject to the responsible declaration regime, particularly since the works were conducted in two distinct phases, a fact not accounted for in the applicable urban regulations.

Alberto González-Amador, who is facing other judicial scrutiny over alleged tax fraud and document falsification, prompted the current administrative action against the city hall.

These allegations were initiated by the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Más Madrid, who have been recognized as popular accusations in the ongoing case.

Additionally, a separate inquiry addresses potential corruption tied to a purported payment of nearly half a million euros to the wife of the president of Quirón Prevención.

The court has granted the appeal made by González-Amador, the owner of the residence, against a 2024 resolution from the City Council requiring him to apply for a renovation license.

The court ruled that this earlier resolution was 'not in accordance with the law' and declared it null and void, thereby imposing the legal costs onto the City.

The judge highlighted that the renovation of the residence was supported by a properly filed responsible declaration, which the City Council had disregarded entirely in its subsequent actions.

According to court documents, González-Amador submitted the necessary paperwork for the renovation on August 4, 2022. The following day, the Chamberí District Board provided a technical report warning of the ineffectiveness of the filed declaration for not meeting essential regulatory requirements.

In its report, the City Council indicated that the applicant had expressed intentions to 'subsequently expand' the responsible declaration for the completion of the works.

The council asserted that partial renovation requests were 'exclusively processed through the urban planning licensing procedure' and that such declarations could not be amended or modified within a defined timeframe.

An inspection conducted by the City of Madrid concluded that the works conducted at the residence shared by Ayuso and González-Amador had been carried out without the necessary licenses.

The City gave the owner a two-month period to request the appropriate permits.

Reports indicate that as of May 2024, the residence lacked licenses for air conditioning, redistribution of spaces, and installation of awnings.
