The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, assured this Thursday that she will go to the Mask Commission of the Congress of Deputies to “demonstrate” that the regional government “has everything audited.”
He stated this after the closing of the conference ‘Commerce and Financing: a path together towards innovation’, organized by the National Association of Financial Credit Establishments (ASNEF) after ‘Cadena SER’ had announced that the socialists would call for Madrid leader to appear.
At the moment, socialist sources have explained to Europa Press that Ayuso will be on the list that they are going to register. Esquerra Republicana also wants to call the Madrid president, as does Sumar, who also wants her partner, Alberto González Amador, to be questioned in parliament.
“It was predictable because the President of the Government (Pedro Sánchez) is obsessed with me and must dream very frequently about my life. It is very interesting that one of the few autonomous communities that did not have any corruption problem during the pandemic can give explanations,” he said. indicated to the media.
Ayuso has defended that the Community has “everything audited by the Accounts Chamber” and that “everything is posted” on the Transparency Portal. “It will be wonderful to give an example of efficient management and not of fraudulent and shabby purchases that many of the autonomous communities governed by the PSOE made,” he stressed.
On the other hand, the president has indicated that she will explain to the socialists “what they should have done during the pandemic” and hopes that the former Minister of Health Salvador Illa “will tell why he did not listen to the World Health Organization (WHO). when I warned that a pandemic was coming.”
“I would not have wanted us to be in these issues, but since the PSOE needs to create a circus to try to discredit the Community, it will be a pleasure to take it. I can go in the first one, if you want, because I have all the accounts audited by everyone.” The UN and NATO were missing to supervise it,” the regional president joked.
The PSOE is going to include the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in the list of appearances that it is preparing for the Congressional investigation commission on emergency contracts for the purchase of health supplies during a pandemic. Likewise, the former Minister of Health Salvador Illa is going to propose the name of his candidate for the Generalitat of Catalonia, who is also requested by the PP, ERC and Junts. And the same thing happens with the president of Congress, Francina Armengol, who also appears on the list of ERC and the ‘popular’.
The deadline to present the proposals for appearances ends at six in the afternoon this Thursday and it will be Tuesday of next week when the full commission will try to agree on a definitive list of the people from whom it will collect testimony.
