“It is my duty to warn that Pedro Sánchez is going to take advantage of August to guarantee himself power at all costs with pacts behind the backs of the Spaniards (…) He is lying because he already has a pact with Puigdemont to govern with criminals and pro-independence supporters.”
Isabel Díaz Ayuso has predicted a complicated future for the “unity of Spain” after the results of 23-J in an intervention in which she closed ranks with Alberto Núñez Feijóo to stop the open debate in the last hours so that the future of the Popular Party pass by the president of the Community of Madrid. And, after the meeting of the Autonomous Board of Directors, she has supported the national leader of her party in the need to lead the negotiations to try to invest her, although, a priori, the numbers they handle are insufficient.
And then he has charged against the socialist leader: “Not everyone in the PSOE is up to this State today” because “they have not cared about feeding nationalisms” he pointed out before the long list of possible allies of Sánchez. “While the PP lacks partners because we have scruples”, he has countered.
“It cannot be that on Thursday we are at a rally supporting Feijóo and on Tuesday we will throw him off a bridge, we are not podemitas,” Ayuso argued when asked about the statements of Esperanza Aguirre who yesterday slipped the need for the national leader be relieved.
In this closing of ranks, Ayuso has also supported Feijóo’s attempt to attend the investiture, recalling other negotiations “unsuspected at first sight” such as the recent agreement in the Barcelona City Council. “You have to fight all the battles”(…) The only battle that is lost is the one that is not fought”, he stressed, stressing that nothing prevents Feijóo from looking for alternatives to the project of destruction of Spain that is coming” fueling the possibility of seeking support within the PSOE and thus breaking the socialist group.
Despite encouraging Feijóo, the Madrid leader has anticipated that what will happen in Spain in two weeks will be “the Estella pact and the Tinell pact but applied to the entire State.” “And so we will see how Otegi becomes lehendakari. Sánchez is going to sell our nation in two weeks,” she has predicted.
Ayuso, however, has not missed the opportunity to claim herself as the scourge of the PP in recent years -even above the postulates set by Genoa-, and has recalled that she was “the first” to denounce “the corrupt pacts of Sanchez”.
Therefore, once again anticipating the steps taken by the leadership of his party – willing to probe a national front with the PSOE – he has predicted that Madrid will once again establish itself as the main wall against sanchismo. “We will have to fight the same battles,” she insisted.
