This Tuesday the first investiture session of Alberto Núñez Feijóo takes place in the Congress of Deputies. The Popular Party candidate to preside over the government presents himself without having the necessary endorsements to be appointed, although this does not prevent the Lower House from monopolizing all the attention regarding current news.
Political representatives of all parties have gathered in Congress, including those who do not have a seat in its chamber, such as the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The regional leader spoke to the media when she arrived at the building, although one of her interventions was very tense.
A reporter from Canal Red, the television directed by the founder of Podemos and former second vice president Pablo Iglesias, asked Díaz Ayuso about his controversial management of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, where a high number of deaths occurred. because of this disease.
The regional president’s response came with anger and she accused the journalist of harassing her, in some images collected by the cameras of Al Rojo Vivo, from La Sexta: “Is he going to continue like this all his life, harassing me with the deaths in the residences of in an unworthy manner or how are they going to do it? Do you think what they are doing is acceptable, don’t they listen?” Ayuso responded bluntly.
In the opinion of the also president of the PP in Madrid, “many families say that their families should not even have gone to hospitals,” and she throws several questions at the reporter: “Do you think that I have signed any document stating that “Do people die? Do you think I have signed any document so that I can go to nursing homes and say ‘die’? It’s a lie!” he concluded.
However, the insistence of the Canal Red journalist led Díaz Ayuso to continue defending himself against the accusations. “They said: ‘we are going to twist the victims’ pain politically’, and that is what you are doing. Stop using deaths! Go ahead,” the Madrid president finally warned.
