In his message, Álvarez de Toledo also wanted to thank the health workers of the Fundación Jiménez Díaz Hospital for their work. Special mention has been made to doctors Ruiz Jiménez, Osorio, Benítez and Pérez de la Fuente.

His message has received a supportive response from many party colleagues and civil society. Among them, that of the president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has sent some emoticons with the symbol of the heart, stands out.

The deputy has not reported what state of recovery she is in, although she will foreseeably be at rest for a few days before rejoining the electoral campaign. He symbolically closes the list of the PP in El Prat de Llobregat and the previous days he has been supporting local candidates.
