Three unprecedented things happen this Thursday in the plenary session of the Madrid Assembly while the deputies shout at each other, whistle at each other and make gestures of contempt. First: Ana Millán, vice president of the Chamber investigated for administrative prevarication, directs the session from the beginning due to the illness of the president, Enrique Ossorio. Second: Rocío Monasterio, defenestrated as leader of Vox in Madrid, as EL PAÍS announced, transforms from a brave bull into a gentle bull, and leaves an intervention designed to prevent Isabel Díaz Ayuso from making fun of her dismissal, as she plans to announce her resignation minutes later. And third: the president appears surrounded by her hard core, reviewing papers, as if she has doubts about what she is going to say. But not. Ayuso first, and then his spokesperson, Carlos Díaz-Pache, charge against the PSOE for supporting Begoña Gómez, wife of the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, who will testify at the investigative commission promoted in the regional Parliament by the PP with the purpose of clarifying the alleged “favorable treatment” received in his professional activity by the Complutense University. Her criticism is summarized in one concept: the PSOE, the Baroness maintains, “is a Stalinist party,” because there are no dissenting voices.
“I don’t know if you are more prisoners of indignity or of the fear that takes over you,” Ayuso begins a speech, full of lightning and thunder, with which he answers Juan Lobato, the general secretary of the PSOE of Madrid. “(…) They have the hard face of having set up in La Moncloa on Funrising Sosteneibol Africa Center“, he says just like that, forcing the accent; “What does it mean, I’ll take it, I’ll set up a hustle and bustle to have something to work on, and benefit the companies that have been part of a department that doesn’t even have students.” “And you tell me about the Complutense University!” he exclaims. “They have degraded her again and again. You have to have a tough face,” he continues, to finish: “They have become a Stalinist party and I don’t know if it is their salaries or that they have converted from what it is to be a socialist, that leads them to defend this. What a shame”.
It is an Ayuso determined to exploit and squeeze the controversy that affects the wife of the President of the Government, who until now had been co-directing two master’s degrees at the Madrid educational center, an occupation for which she has been summoned to testify by the justice system as being investigated for the alleged commission of the crimes of corruption in the private sector and influence peddling.
“How are they going to receive the boss here?” [cuando venga a declarar]“Ayuso asks. “A porta gayola? “Through the hallways, the air ducts?” he insists. “I don’t know how they are going to organize it, but they are going to have to give explanations here, because the money of the people of Madrid, who pay, and pay a lot, has gone down the drain to do business and shenanigans that are unbearable.”
That is a concerted strategy, because immediately afterwards the parliamentary spokesperson of the PP, Díaz-Pache, intervenes with similar or greater harshness. Lobato comes to defend the public university, to warn of the advance of the private one, and to warn about the danger of that combination – “it is expelling the middle class from the university and is opening the door to business and speculation,” he says. the leader of the socialists―, which the conservative politician takes advantage of in his intervention.
“Mr. Lobato, you have the extraordinary ability to shoot yourself in the foot every Thursday in this Assembly,” says Díaz-Pache. “We have been talking all week about Begoña Gómez’s activities, and how she was harming the public university, and she comes here to ask the president if she thinks the funding for the public university is sufficient,” he continues. “Listen, if Begoña Gómez continues messing around, surely not, there will never be enough money,” he says ironically to the laughter of the PP bench.
“This week we have had a terrible storm that has fallen on the first lady (…) and that has destroyed forever that business center called Sánchez-Gómez SA and which has its headquarters in the La Moncloa palace” , shoot. “And they complain about us opening a commission of inquiry?” he asks. “They are not going to silence us. The Sánchez Government has swept through Spain like a gangster and has left the prisons open, it has removed the rapists, those from the coup d’état, the thieves from the ERE and now it wants to remove the ETA prisoners. We have to assume that the PSOE is a pit of moral indignity.”
Nobody in the socialist caucus asks to speak for allusions to defend the party’s position. Everyone knows that it is predictably a gesture aimed at melancholy, because Ossorio has rarely allowed the floor in those circumstances, and there is nothing to suggest that Millán is going to do so. But thus, the questions that Monasterio and Manuela Bergerot (Más Madrid) have asked about housing at the gates of the demonstration called for next Sunday are forgotten. Or Lobato’s approaches to the public university. Ayuso, rocked by her absolute majority, once again imposes her story.
