The Madrid PSOE has removed the shame of the Government of the Community of Madrid from Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The National Executive has granted autonomy eight million euros to to alleviate the consequences of the crisis in Madrid’s primary sector. The farmers and ranchers of the autonomy of the capital are bleeding economically, they complain and until now no one has attended to their needs. That is why this Thursday, the socialist deputy of the Madrid Assembly Rafael Gómez Montoya has reproached Díaz Ayuso that even you haven’t spent a single euro of those eight million in helping Madrid farmers and ranchers.
“The Government of Spain has delivered Isabel Díaz Ayuso more than eight million euros as an emergency subsidy for the maintenance of the Primary Sector. Do something. It is urgent, “said Gómez Montoya in the Assembly. “Isabel Díaz Ayuso, bring together industry associations. Generate aid for the sheep and goat sector. Sign the agreement with Agroseguro. And release the CAP payments now and PDR. Madrid ranchers and farmers deserve better treatment, “he said.
Meanwhile, that money remains stagnant. While Díaz Ayuso boasts that a new mask will be delivered to each person in Madrid “for free”, ranchers and farmers raise the tone due to the unsustainability of their situation. “Our farmers and ranchers can lose a lot of money for the lack of diligence of Isabel Díaz Ayuso in the processing of aid from the Rural Development Program“Gómez Montoya highlighted.

Meanwhile, associations linked to the Madrid primary sector such as the Union of Farmers, Ranchers and Foresters of Madrid (UGAMA) try to make their complaints heard. “While we work hard so that there is no lack of food in this #Sanitary Crisis, big supermarket chains and intermediaries are doing august, raising prices to consumers and not transferring them to producers ”, highlighted in late May from the Union of farmers and ranchers.
At the same time, remember that “the Law obliges to pay the ccereals and agricultural products above production costs. A harvest that seems good, can be ruined by price issues -stalled for years- and breaches of the Law. ” And meanwhile, Díaz Ayuso has hardly responded to the demands of this sector, even despite having received eight million euros to alleviate the consequences of the crisis.
While the government focuses on obtaining financing from Europe, the autonomies have not stopped complaining. However, the treatment of these communities towards their primary sectors does not seem to have been the most appropriate. Especially since these sectors insist that they have not received any help.
“We have donated 451,000 seedlings of tomatoes, aubergines, onions … to farmers madrileños. It is part of an aid plan with 10 shock measures, such as the promotion of indigenous products. We support the role of farmers and ranchers, vital in this crisis ”, Díaz Ayuso highlighted in April. But since then, little else. And of those eight million euros they have received from the central executive, according to the PSOE complaint, little is known.
