Just a year ago, Pablo’s leadership Married I was very touched. He came from sinking his party with the worst result in the history of the PP in the April general elections and he knew that his future as president of the conservatives could have the hours numbered if he did not get a good result on May 26, in the elections municipal and autonomous. That second electoral night, the tension seized the leaders on the noble floor of the Genoa headquarters until the count of the ballots in the city of Madrid revealed that Manuela Carmena he lost the mayor’s office and the PP candidate, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, he could get it back for his match if he agreed with Cs and Vox. Married ordered to set up a stage outside to celebrate. He had reconquered the consistory and, in addition, it was a few minutes before the sum of votes revealed that he could retain, also with the help of the oranges and ultras, the Community Executive, where the PP has governed since 1995. The head of The poster was Casado’s most personal bet: Isabel Díaz Ayuso, whom he had known for New Generations for more than a decade. Madrid had saved the leader of the popular ones.
The PP president quickly made it clear that he would use the regional government as speaker of his plan for Spain and to make opposition the Executive of the PSOE and Podemos coalition. “Madrid will be the community where the least taxes are paid and, in addition, a national reference for what we will do when we get to the government of the nation“Casado declared at Ayuso’s inauguration on August 19 last year. A transparent message that is now being spread with more difficulty due to the questionable management of the Madrid Executive, with management errors in the pandemic and controversial starring the president herself. But Ayuso, with a style reminiscent of Esperanza’s live and unfiltered Aguirre, is determined to be the Baroness of the PP most critical of Moncloa and uses the veto of the Ministry of Health to go to phase 1 of the de-escalation to charge against the Government. This Saturday he accused Pedro Sánchez of making that decision “for political reasons” and of be leading “to ruin” to the citizens of the community.
“It is his style and his message. Married must combine them with others purposeful as his “plan B” for de-escalation “, points out a collaborator of the PP leader, who admits that the serious health crisis and” the difficult management of Madrid, like that of other large cities in the US or Italy, “complicate the strategy of the leader of the conservatives.
The residences
PP leaders continue to sell as positive the regional government’s work to try to mark distances with Sánchez and the mistakes made by Moncloa (among others, the delay in the reaction, the purchase of defective material and the lack of tests), but the data reveals another reality in Madrid. The residences, autonomous competition, have been one of the foci where the coronavirus has been fierce. It was not acted on time and the “medicalization“General of those facilities that was promised did not arrive, as it is shown that the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid has even demanded that the Executive provide sanitary facilities to the centers of Leganés and Alcorcón. Ministry of Social Policies, the death toll in these centers was 5,846 people, from the start of the pandemic until last Tuesday. A number that surpasses any community. In Catalonia, of the total number of victims declared by funeral homes, 3,381 They have died in a nursing home, as reported by the Ministry of Health on Thursday.
The material
Ayuso, like Sánchez, also ran into problems for buy protection material. The “two planes from China” who announced on March 22 that they would arrive loaded with medical devices took several days to land in Spain. The first one was on April 1 and the second on April 5. “No plane was missing, the only thing that happens is that the rules of international trade are not as we knew when it comes to buying in China and in the middle of a pandemic, “Ayuso admitted on Telecinco.
With the face masks FPP2 distributed since Monday in pharmacies to all Madrilenians there has been a double controversy: because primary care doctors continue to complain that they do not have it and because are not approved by the European authorities despite the information on the packaging. And Madrid is the community with the most deaths with suspicion or confirmation of covid-19. More than 14,000 people. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Health, the consolidated public health investment in the region was in 2018 from 3.6% of GDP, well below the 5.5% average for all communities. Catalonia dedicated 4.7%.
In addition to these events, this week, the controversy over the aparthotel in which Ayuso lives since mid-March, which has even led to José María Aznar, godfather of Married, reappeared to give its support to Madrid politics. The connection between the former president and the chief executive is close. Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, who was Secretary of State for Communication and spokesman for the first Aznar Government, is the chief of staff from Ayuso.
Married promised “exemplary” When he won the PP’s internal primaries to close the stage of scandals in which his party was involved, but also in that facet he has seen that Ayuso has entered swampy terrain. A deputy secretary from the national party notes that Mariano Rajoy’s successor is confident that he will leave the hotel “Sooner than later”. She said yesterday that she will continue, at least, while Madrid is in phase 0. A few weeks ago, her team assured that they would do so by moving to phase 2.
