She also expressed regret that a region such as Madrid, “a driving force for opportunities that is currently at its best”, should have to witness “all of this”. “One wonders how much further we could go, and everything we could achieve together if common sense were governing Spain,” she added.
Speaking at the opening of the III Madrid Investment Forum, the regional government president said that the Madrid Regional Government is working to tackle excessive bureaucracy, first through an Open Line Against Overregulation, which has eliminated or amended more than 740 administrative procedures, and now through a new comprehensive law that will introduce a commitment to offset any new bureaucratic burdens by removing existing ones. The aim, she explained, is to ensure that regulation “does not become an unbearable tangle of rules and small rules that no one knows where they came from one day.”
