The most solid blocks in Madrid politics are those of the left and the right. In the first, Más Madrid, as leader of the opposition, and PSOE coexist; While in the second it is done by PP and Vox. They have remained at odds during dozens of votes in the Madrid Assembly. To the point of seeming unalterable. But the parliamentary shortcut that the popular party has decided to take for its legislative project is causing the first cracks.
The parliamentary groups Más Madrid, PSOE and Vox have agreed in recent hours in censuring the Madrid president Isabel Díaz Ayuso for confusing her absolute majority with “absolutism” when processing the modification of 15 regulations, including Telemadrid, the Chamber of Accounts and the Transparency Council.
The first to do so was the leader of Vox, Rocío Monasterio, who at the end of the Meeting of Spokespersons prior to the weekly plenary session this Thursday, slipping that “Mrs. Ayuso may have mistaken the absolute majority with absolutism.” An admonishment towards whoever was her partner that she illustrated through the figure of Pedro Sánchez. “If this procedure had been carried out by the president it would seem bad to us.”
Equally illustrative was the example used by the leader of the Madrid socialists, Juan Lobato, denouncing Ayuso’s distraction tactic to, among others, “sneak through the back door the dismantling of the Transparency Council, of the Accounts Chamber, taking advantage of these days of media focus on the investiture”.
It didn’t take long for Más Madrid to join the unprecedented coincidence of arguments between Vox and PSOE: “I suppose it modifies the Chamber of Accounts, which they don’t like to be audited, it retouches the Transparency Council, to make the data and all its policies opaque, it eliminates the law of good government and good management because the hospital managements, I suppose, consider that they also have to have the PP card,” listed the leader of the opposition, Mónica García.
The Popular Group in the Madrid Assembly registered this Friday an urgent Bill for the Simplification and Improvement of the Efficiency of the Institutions and Organizations of the Community of Madrid that includes modifications of up to fifteen laws, in addition to having registered the modification of Trans and LGTBI laws.
