That relations between the government of the Community of Madrid and that of Pedro Sánchez are tense is well known, but the lack of understanding between the two administrations could cause a war of protocols if the intention of the Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, is confirmed. , to attend the party on May 2, Community Day, on Tuesday, despite not having been invited by Isabel DÃaz Ayuso, who has declared war on him.
The Community of Madrid threatens to let the minister of the presidency into the events, for not having been invited, and in the event that he is finally allowed access, to leave him in a place that is as insignificant as possible, for which the services of the Community of Madrid are studying the regulations on protocol.
What the presidency of the Community of Madrid wanted to make clear is that Félix Bolaños is not invited to the events, and that if he does show up it will be “a self-invitation”. What is transferred from the Community of Madrid is that their presence would be interpreted as a “provocation”, according to sources close to the Madrid president, since for that same day, and at that time, a demonstration has been called that the Madrid government considers is “against the president of the Community”.
The Madrid government has already protested because the government delegate in Madrid, from the PSOE, and with whom the Madrid president has already had a confrontation, despite the fact that she has been in office for barely a month, has authorized the demonstration, despite the fact that At that time, the events of May 2 are held at Puerta del Sol, which include a military parade, a floral offering and a reception inside the Royal Post Office.
The Community’s surprise, according to the sources consulted, is that it has received a message from the protocol department of the Ministry of the Presidency requesting “the rundown of the act of ‘May 2’ in which the Minister of the presidency, as well as the ‘seating’ of the row where the minister will be located”.
The Community of Madrid wanted to make it publicly known that the minister was not invited to the event, and according to the sources consulted, “consulting the protocol decrees of the state and the Community of Madrid”, and given that Minister Bolaños “has not been formally invited to the events on May 2, if the minister appears “without invitation”, it will be “simply a provocation”, and at that moment “we will study what to do and where to place a person who has not been invited”.
Minister Bolaños already attended the “Community Day” events last year, despite the fact that relations between the central government and Madrid were already very tense, and his presence took place without any type of problem. It is also common for a member of the central government, regardless of color compared to the one who governs in Madrid, to attend these events on May 2.
