The Community of Madrid has rush to turn the page after the civil war that left the PP devastated. The ‘relief operation’ that will lead to Alberto Nunez Feijoo to the main floor of Genoa is underway, but wounds and wear they remain in many corners of the formation. Madrid, despite having won the pulse of the previous address, is not an exception. On the contrary, he blames the erosion of an internal conflict that has also left the president touched. And for this reason, Isabel Díaz Ayuso returns to the strategy of the confrontation with Pedro Sánchez.
Measure directly with the President of the Government and go to the clash, as he has always done in these months, with policies that completely amend the Moncloa roadmap. The counterattack of carrying the Anticorruption Prosecutor’s Office several contracts for medical supplies and direct aid in the pandemic that directly relates to people from the Government and Sánchez himself served, they explain in Ayuso’s team, to “regain the initiative” and give a blow of effect that they had not achieved for weeks.
As this newspaper published, in the hard core of the president they already recognized in the most difficult days that Ayuso’s image had been affected. They insist that social support has not been altered and in the party they continue to consider it “the main electoral asset.” But, at the same time, they do not hide that they worry about scratches and that now it is necessary to put things back on track. And, in the case of Madrid, they point out that it is necessary resume the you to you with Sánchez in the great political debates.
In addition to the coup by the Prosecutor’s Office, there is also the debate on the refugees from the war in Ukraine who will begin to arrive in Spain in the coming days. Madrid is one of the three communities that will act as a reception point and Puerta del Sol has reiterated its commitment in this regard. However, in the Community they reproach Moncloa for the lack of coordination and transparency in the management of those who have fled the conflict. To the point that the Madrid president was not invited to Sánchez’s visit to the reception center located in Pozuelo de Alarcon this Thursday. The mayor of the municipality, the popular Susana Pérez-Quislant, also had little information.
Just a few days ago Ayuso also spoke about the tax reform project that the committee of experts from the Ministry of Finance put on the table. The president, who was on a trip to Marseille, advanced that she will ask the European Union for protection if the fiscal harmonization that would affect her region were finalized. “They cannot take away our fiscal autonomy of the Community of Madrid & rdquor ;, settled. The debate on taxes is one of the axes of greatest conflict that the leader maintains with the Government of Sánchez. It is a flag that she will not give up, they confirm in her team, making it clear that Madrid will feel “questioned & rdquor; as long as this issue is in focus.
And now Sol prepares to another educational battle after the request of the Ministry directed by Pilar Alegría in which she accuses Madrid of failing to comply with state regulations with the unique area in schooling. The Government considers that the Community should not allow families to enroll their children in the school they decide regardless of the distance from their homes, and is committed to the points system that favors proximity between the center and postal addresses.
In the Community they reiterate that Sánchez “amends the philosophy of the Madrid government & rdquor; by system, and they assure that Ayuso “does not force & rdquor; confrontation, but that all these issues “concern their freedom policies & rdquor ;. And the educational issue is not a minor issue. The PP has been defending its model in the region for decades and Sol is clear that it will not take steps back. The spokesman for the regional Executive is, in fact, the Minister of Education and one of the president’s most trusted men.
As this newspaper published, the arrival of the new national leader to the PP will not prevent “That Ayuso continues to be Ayuso”. As is the case in all sectors of the match, Madrid is aware of the “secrecy” that surrounds Feijóo and is waiting to learn details about his future team and the organic project he has in mind. Yes, there is a feeling of confidence and tranquility that before, with Casado and Teodoro García Egea, had completely disappeared. The president of the Xunta has come out in defense of the Madrid president and is clear that he will not make mistakes from the previous direction: face a rising value among militants and voters.
Another thing is how the way of doing politics will fit together. Ayuso has been one of the few leaders who always backed up Alfonso Fernandez Manueco at the time of agreeing with Vox. The Madrid president did not need to include the ultra party in her government, precisely because of the good result of 4-M last year. Mañueco was unable to match that success. But the Madrilenian defended from the first day that “the errors of the PP always occurred when they looked to their left.” She publicly disapproved of any rapprochement with the PSOE.
Feijóo, who insists on being prudent as a candidate for the presidency of the PP, gave “total freedom” to the president of Castilla y León to agree on a stable government in his community and a few hours later he insisted on “majority” projects, in political centrality and avoiding populism. A speech that, although liked within the PP, also dislodges some leaders. Everyone is confident that when he officially takes the reins he can establish greater clarity. But in Madrid they are waiting, aware that the first cracks with Galician they can open up, precisely, because of their policy of pacts.
