The political marriage that PP and Cs subscribed just nine months ago in Madrid continues to disintegrate at cruising speed. After a first stage of effervescence that allowed them, with the support of VoxTo keep the regional government out of the reach of the left, the relationship between the two partners has been cooling down to almost non-existent. The regional government is even considering modifying the Statute of Autonomy to include the figure of the decree law before the inability to process laws.
“When a situation worsens, it is easier to find the guilty than the innocent,” coined the French philosopher Jean-François Revel. And in those are the partners. In an apathy and mistrust that leads them to manage opposing agendas and in tune, each one, with those of their respective national leaders. More distanced than ever after the recurring orange support to the extensions of the alarm state of the central government. This is how the vice president of the Community of Madrid, Ignacio Aguado (Cs), has spent weeks trying to attract the president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP), to a work table with the opposition to agree on a cross-sectional and consensual solution to the crisis of the Covid-19.
The dilemma, which initially seemed like a simple discrepancy, has been increasing. And yesterday it ended up being poisoned by the heat of the threat of a censure motion that the PSOE-M has outlined in the Vallecas Assembly through the mouth of the socialist spokesman Ángel Gabilondo. Who would be accompanied by Más Madrid and, presumably, Unidas Podemos. The mechanism has not yet been activated, but mathematics gives Ayuso a difficult forecast, which not even Vox has publicly supported in its one-person plan to rebuild Madrid.
This ghost of widowhood made the PP jump like a spring warning his coalition partner of the swampy terrain he is exploring: “The government’s strategy is set by the president. And if other types of alternative meetings are proposed, they must be held in a private capacity, ”they warned from the Ministry of the Presidency. But far from scaring him away, the ghost appeared at the Puerta del Sol headquarters with more force after the irruption of Juan Carlos Girauta. The Ciudadanos export spokesman, who recently left the party annoyed with the new direction set by its president, Inés Arrimadas, gave Ayuso advice on social networks: “I would call elections.” And the warning has penetrated within the PP of Madrid, where Cs is less and less trusted. A partner who goes free.
