• The six public universities in Madrid are in a critical economic situation that could become catastrophic.
• Madrid, despite being the community with the highest per capita income in Spain, is the one that invests the least per student in higher public education.
• The proposed budget by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, provides an insufficient subsidy to the university system.
• The rectors of the universities have criticized this lack of funding and have stressed that universities are not indoctrination centers.
• Díaz Ayuso has launched an ideological offensive against the public sector and promotes private education.

Conclusion: There is an urgent need to amend budgets and ensure sufficient funding for public universities.
