The relationship between PP and Citizens in the Community of Madrid is “a time bomb“. But, initially, it is ruled out that Isabel Díaz Ayuso dissolve the Autonomous Chamber to advance elections one year after having reached the regional government. The President of Madrid, who has the exclusive power to end the legislature before the age of four, is only willing to take that step if her executive partner agrees to a motion of censure with the PSOE of Angel Gabilondo to kick her out of the Royal Post Office.
Ayuso managed to retain the Community of Madrid on August 14, almost three months after the autonomic elections, with the 30 votes of his parliamentary group, the 26 of Ciudadanos and the 12 of Vox against the 64 of the left, who voted in against. This week in which PP and Ciudadanos have blamed each other for the management of residences in the Community during the pandemic, in all the political formations they have put the accounts: if the oranges join the left bloc, Ayuso would remain in the minority and without the Government.
Nerves have skyrocketed since the disagreements between the two government parties have crossed the physical borders of the Community of Madrid and are already being shown without hesitation in the media. In the PP they have the endorsement that all the surveys risk a high number of seats if there is no other choice but to dissolve the Parliament and call elections. “There is not a single poll that gives Ciudadanos one more seat. His only way to get Aguado to be president is by removing Isabel and agreeing with the left, “they predict around the Madrid councilor.
In the orange team they completely discard breaking the coalition government that was signed with the PP and dispel all the rumors that point to some secret meeting between Aguado and Angel Gabilondo, the leader of the Madrid socialists, to build this hypothetical motion of censure. In fact, they accuse the conservatives of “intoxications” over possible pacts with the opposition to “force an electoral advance. Maybe it is Isabel who wants to remove Aguado to put Rocío Monasterio“respond sources of Citizens.
“Infiltrate”
Ayuso has received public support from the Vox spokesperson in Madrid, Rocío Monasterio, who called Aguado “infiltrator” of Pedro Sánchez in the Government of the Community of Madrid and accused him of “dynamiting” the agreement that PP and Cs had. The regional president also does not hide her good attunement to the party of Santiago Abascal, whom he has known for years, when they were both young militants of the Popular Party.
Vice President Aguado at all costs avoids closing any agreement with Vox or showing himself with his team. However, Ayuso won his pulse when he proposed to initiate a round of contacts with the opposition to seek a consensus solution in which all political formations participate in the face of the very serious social and economic crisis caused by the pandemic in Madrid. .
Ayuso gave in, but made it a condition that the first to attend the meeting with the members of the Government was precisely Rocío Monasterio, despite the fact that Vox is the fifth party with representation in the Assembly. Days ago, Vice President Aguado unilaterally closed a meeting with all the parliamentary spokesmen to which the President did not attend and which also raised many blisters on the government team.
Quininelas
Since the coalition government agreed, the president and vice president have never hidden their lack of harmony. However, neither team thought then that they would have to manage the worst health and economic crisis in recent history together: three months after the crisis erupted, the newspaper archive does not save a single photograph together of president and vice president.
Members of the two teams are aware that these are not times to think about elections, but rather to solve the problems of the people of Madrid, the Spaniards who have suffered most intensely from the virulence of the coronavirus. “It is time to rebuild … we have to hold on for a while longer”, they repeat on both sides, although nobody bets a penny that the coalition government lasts three more years, until the end of the legislature.
