Two left-wing parties in the Madrid regional assembly have called on Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the conservative president of the Community of Madrid, to condemn racist chants directed at Venezuelan government figure Delcy Rodríguez during a rally in the capital's Puerta del Sol square on Saturday. The chants — including the phrase "fuera la mona" ("get out, monkey") — were allegedly encouraged by Venezuelan singer Carlos Baute from the stage while crowds of around 11,000 waited for the appearance of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who was in Madrid to receive the Community's Gold Medal from Ayuso. Spokeswomen for Más Madrid and Podemos described the chants as "intolerable" and "racist," saying they disgraced not only racialised people but any democrat, while left-wing parties have broadly distanced themselves from Machado's visit, which also included honours from the Madrid city government and meetings with conservative leaders Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Santiago Abascal.
