As the municipal elections of 2023 approach, no one will want to talk about previous agreements, but the participation of the mayor of Madrid in a press breakfast held this Monday has sounded like a declaration of intent. A firm promise to repeat the pact that PP and Cs maintain in the City Council of the capital at a time when popular and oranges have broken their alliances in recent months in a large part of the national territory, as has been the case of the Community of Madrid or the Junta de Castilla y León, among others.
José Luis Martínez-Almeida especially thanked the deputy mayor, Begoña Villacís, for their joint work, prioritizing citizen interest over partisan interests, in these three “turbulent political and management years” to place the capital “in the place that corresponds, the league of the best cities”.
The renewal of votes certifies the gratitude of the popular mayor to his orange deputy mayor after her support in the midst of the storms of the espionage attempt on Isabel Díaz Ayuso, first, and the distribution of millionaire commissions for the hit of the masks, later, that helped to deactivate the pressures from the left by presenting a motion of censure against the alderman.
In an Informative Breakfast organized by Europa Press, the councilor highlighted that a government has been formed with two parties with their own legitimate interests but “maintaining the general interest of the people of Madrid above their own”.
“Madrid is at its best moment in its recent history but the best is yet to come”, he stated, after stressing that this will continue to be possible with the PP as a “containment dam against socialism” and “more with Isabel Díaz Ayuso al front”.
The mayor has defined the PP as a “serious and reliable alternative in this constitutionalist Spain.” “And for the first time the eyes of the world are turned to Madrid due to the management of the pandemic in these two years, which allowed everyone who was unable to go to cinemas and theaters if they could in Madrid,” he stressed.
Almeida advocates installing Madrid in the coming years in the league that corresponds to it as its own right, that of “the best cities”. “That we stop being the best kept secret in the 21st century”, he has longed for.
