The mayor of Madrid, José Luis MartÃnez-Almeida (PP), has marked a chotis this Friday in the presentation of the programming of the San Isidro festivities and Vox has taken the opportunity to ask him to ask him to dance before he is make the left.
The post-electoral pacts in the Madrid City Council have dressed as chulapos for the imminent celebration of San Isidro, since the Vox candidate, Javier Ortega Smtih, has described a coalition between him and the mayor and a “much necessary political chotis” PP candidate, José Luis MartÃnez-Almeida, while the latter has insisted that he prefers to dance alone.
Everything has happened in the San Isidro meadow on the occasion of the presentation of the musical program that the City Council has developed for the festivities of the city’s patron, and, after which he has been asked, like the ultranationalist spokesman, if they would dance a chotis together in the next mandate in the form of a municipal coalition government.
Almeida, who had just danced with several members of the Federation of Traditional Madrid Groups, joked that he has been practicing this dance since last San Isidro, which becomes “excessively complex” for someone with his “skills”. I am sure that I will continue for four more years as mayor, over the next few years we will see even more progress”, he added, convinced that the PP will be able to govern alone.
From Vox, however, Ortga Smith has assured that there are only two options: “that we dance it or that Reyes Maroto and Rita Maestre (PSOE and Más Madrid candidates, respectively) dance it. That is the problem,” he said.
PP and Vox began the legislature that is now coming to an end as investiture partners and they have ended it facing the maximum. This situation has forced Almeida to extend his budgets for this 2023 as he finds himself unable to add the support of the rest of the opposition parties. Something that Ortega Smith has once again reminded the councilor, encouraging him to resume their relationship: “If we do not learn to understand each other, if we are not capable of leaving our differences, and, in some cases, partisan egoism, it will be others who will to govern Madrid, the left will govern”.
