Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has remained silent since the outbreak of the dana, had an idea this Tuesday: that the Government promote an urgent Decree with aid measures for those affected. And he thought that idea was so good that he published it on his social networks at exactly ten minutes past five in the afternoon, exactly five hours after the Council of Ministers had already approved it and Pedro Sánchez had come out to explain it in a appearance at the Moncloa.
“Valencia is going through its worst moment and the Government that loves Royal Decrees must now issue an urgent one to help the region,” Ayuso demanded on social networks. At ten minutes past twelve at noon, the president had appeared before the press after the Council of Ministers to give details of the Royal Decree that includes aid of 10.6 billion euros to those affected.
The request from the Madrid presidency has not only arrived five hours after the Government had already made it but almost 24 hours after its party, the PP, learned first-hand of much of the content of that Decree from the Minister of Justice and committed to supporting its validation in Congress, for which the Executive has a maximum period of 30 days.
In that message on networks, Ayuso adds a false accusation: “Blackmailing by mixing Budgets with aid is mean,” says the Madrid president, alluding to a response from Pedro Sánchez to questions from the press during his appearance in which he highlighted the relevance of to be able to approve the General State Budgets in this context but in which the announced aid has not been conditional on being able to approve these accounts.
Literally, to the question of whether Budgets will be necessary to support the million-dollar aid to Valencia, Sánchez answered: “We will need new General State Budgets. If there was any reason to approve them before this dana, that responsibility is multiplied to colossal limits. We are going to offer the parliamentary groups a new budgetary framework to address the realities of each of the territories, particularly those communities, especially the Valencian Community, that are affected by this climate tragedy. I hope that we have the majority support of the chamber to approve Budgets today that are even more necessary than yesterday,” he said.
After the announcement by the President of the Government of the million-dollar aid to Valencia for those affected by the dana, the PP has come out in a rush to distort Pedro Sánchez’s words and repeat that he has linked the package of measures to the approval of the accounts, something that they have repeated from Génova Street and also even from the Generalitat Valenciana in the mouth of the president, Carlos Mazón.
