Madrid (EFE) , because Spain “needs a change”.
During the second session of the investiture debate in the Madrid Assembly, Ayuso told Vox that he will not be “in an electoral key at the national level to know what agreements must be made or what must not be done”, but he is clear that both formations have to “be up to the task”.
“Outstretched hand” to Vox, but also reproaches
In his reply to the Vox spokesperson, Rocío Monasterio, Ayuso has not avoided reproaches, and thus, he has criticized the fact that his existence is based on “going against the PP” and that he has become a “mattress and great help” for the Government of Sanchez.
“What they have had is the gift of benefiting Sánchez whenever he has needed it (…); You are the true cushion and the great help that the Sánchez government needs to not talk about the truth and what is happening in La Moncloa ”, he declared.
Although she has thanked Vox for its support during the last two legislatures “in very difficult times” and because they share an electorate, the acting president has insisted on criticizing Vox for having dedicated herself, she has stated, to “wielding all the banners of the left” . She has also disapproved of voting against this year’s budget.
security and immigration
In this line, he has reproached them for trying to “live by going against the PP” instead of being an “original” party, and putting forward the same proposals of the popular “always a little more”, in addition to the fact that “90 percent ” of its measures are not the responsibility of the Community of Madrid, such as in matters of security and immigration.
“Not everything is thanks to Vox; It is like saying that 25 years ago the PP made proposals in case its political party was born one day”, ironized Ayuso, who has questioned Monasterio’s statement that his group helps to “stop the left” when they have remained practically in the same seats (11). He is the PP that does not stop “growing.”
“It is at least a utopia,” said the leader of the PP, who recalled that in 2019, when she was a candidate for the Presidency of the Community of Madrid for the first time, she already defended “the unborn” while Vox had not yet said nothing in regards.
Ayuso and a new digitization department
He has also stressed that his Government is “the most austere” in all of Spain with respect to its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), in which it will maintain nine ministries despite creating a new one for Digitalization and has announced that it will continue to reduce deputy ministries and general directorates.
On the reform of the Trans Law, which he assured on Wednesday during his speech that this legislature would undertake, he has defended that it is “the opportune moment” to do so, “without electoralism, with serenity and with the legitimacy” that the ballot boxes have granted him, with its 70 deputies, while calling Vox’s proposals on this matter “pure laziness and lack of rigor”.
“You can’t just go for sensationalism and I think the intentions are different,” Ayuso opined.
