The Mayor of Madrid, main speaker at the The Diplomat talks
Last February 23rd, the Mayor of Madrid, Mr. José Luis Martínez-Almeida, participated in The Diplomat's Talk entitled "De Madrid al cielo: the success model of a city at the forefront of the world", attended by more than twenty ambassadors, at the Hotel Melià Madrid Serrano.
The Mayor was welcomed by the deputy director of The Diplomat, Mr. Alberto Rubio, and later by the president of HM Hospitales, Mr. Juan Abarca.
During the informal talk, behind closed doors and under the rule of confidentiality, the participants were able to learn about the Mayor's objectives for the city in areas such as mobility, economic development, and European funds, among others.
There was also space for ambassadors to ask questions about the recent crisis in the “Partido Popular”.
Sponsored by HM Hospitales, The Diplomat's Talks have been held since 2016 on a regular monthly basis, with the aim of giving foreign diplomats in Spain access to first-hand information on Spanish politics, economy, and society.
