Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, traveled to Mallorca, Spain, for an Islamic retreat while the United States celebrated its 250th anniversary over the Fourth of July weekend. Reports indicate that Duwaji was seen at Newark International Airport before boarding a flight to Palma for a sold-out retreat organized by The Women Sanctuary. Councilwoman Joann Ariola criticized Duwaji's absence, stating it reflected a lack of appreciation for the country. Councilman Frank Morano echoed this sentiment, expressing disappointment that she chose to be overseas during a significant civic event. Mamdani's office confirmed that Duwaji was not accompanied by her NYPD detail during the trip. The retreat, titled 'Plants Of The Quran | 6th Edition,' focuses on spiritual reflection and workshops centered around plants mentioned in the Quran. Meanwhile, Mamdani remained in New York City, where he was involved in managing the city's response to a heat wave during the holiday celebrations.
