In the words of Concepción Díaz de Villegas, General Director of Commerce and Entrepreneurship of the Madrid City Council, “it is important to carry out actions to boost trade in the entire area of ​​the Salamanca district”.

The representative of the City Council congratulated the associated companies for consolidating a project that will boost tourism for quality purchases in the capital. He also mentioned the signing of an agreement between Madrid Luxury District and the Madrid Capital of Fashion program of the consistory.

Mª José Pérez-Cejuela, General Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the Ministry of Economy, Employment and Finance of the Autonomous Community of Madrid also began her speech by congratulating the MLD association: “Luxury in Madrid is finally united.

Inmaculada Pérez Castellanos, specialist lawyer with years of experience in the retail world in Madrid, and promoter of the MLD association, emphasized that during the inauguration the objective was for “the Ortega y Gasset area to reach its true potential”, because ” Madrid is fashionable, and we want to help ensure that this is not just a passing fad, but something sustained in time, like Paris and London. “
