The popular leader also includes the vice president in the attacks against Sánchez
The verbalization of Yolanda Díaz as a candidate for the presidency of the Government is causing a readjustment in the electoral map of the left, but also a change in the discourse of the right. Alberto Núñez Feijóo shares Galician political history with Díaz and since he was appointed president of the PP he has thrown darts and warnings about the second vice president, but among his territorial barons the enemy to beat It has always been Pedro Sánchez. Until now. Isabel Díaz Ayuso attacked her this Monday, placing her for the first time at the same level as Sánchez, speaking of “collusion” between the two, “Sánchez-Yolanda Díaz factory” or about how the vice president “drinks the winds” for the socialist general secretary.
In the Madrid leftespecially in the PSOE, have been saying for weeks that Ayuso needs to “polarize” the vote and mobilize in his favor the electorate that rejects Sánchez to seek the same effect that he achieved in the 2021 elections, when he managed to double the PP’s votes, causing Pablo Iglesias He formally left politics. A “high abstention”, they recognize in the formation, could “benefit Ayuso” according to what they read in the polls, because the one who could stay at home is precisely the voter who is dissatisfied with the left. They say it with the focus on the southern belt, which was once red but in which Ayuso swept in the last elections. That is also where Más Madrid has its eye, which grew in those municipalities also at the expense of the PSOE and where all the parties try to fish equally in search of a transversal vote. Ayuso’s reference to the joint Sánchez-Díaz “factory” is also a way of harm the candidacy of Más Madridwhose leader Mónica García was in the front line at the Sumar presentation ceremony together with the vice president.
Diaz’s “Train of Life”
This Monday the president of the Community of Madrid and PP candidate has joined her usual confrontation with Sánchez criticism of Diaz What do they seek neutralize optimism that the latest polls show towards this new candidacy of the left and blur Díaz: “She does not leave the Falcon and the train of life in which she has settled and he (Sánchez) does not disappear after the collapse of Podemos”.
In it PP They avoid talking about a new strategy or Díaz as a new target in the popular strategy, they limit themselves to saying that Sumar’s presentation “is recent” and that this is the reason that these days Ayuso is being heard talking about the second vice president.
“Left Populism”
Although the bulk of her criticism continues to be focused on Sánchez, as usual, the regional president alluded this Monday to the triangle of “Moncloa, Galapagar and Cercedilla”the latter in reference to a residence that Mónica García has there, to ensure that from these three points, according to the forecasts of the PP, “hoaxes” will be launched in the next 48 days (those that remain until the electoral appointment of 28 May) in order to avoid talking about the positive aspects of the region that depend on the management of the Community.
The image of Diaz that Ayuso wanted to convey is more or less that of the wolf in sheep’s clothing, that of “an ultra-left populist dressed in white who whispers with childish words to the poor that she herself provokes with her decisions”. If Sánchez is the president who, according to the popular leader, treats Spain in general and the Community of Madrid in particular worse, with up to ten points that he glossed summary mode (from the pacts with Bildu to the pardons for the Catalan independence leaders, “two states of alarm that undermined the rule of law”, the law of only yes is yes or the mentions of Pegasus, among others), Diaz Since she presented Sumar on April 2, she has become “the most ineffective vice president in the history of Spain.”
