The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, stated this Friday that the rise in transport prices after the rejection in Congress of the Government decree that extended discounts, along with other social measures, is the fault of the Executive itself. state “for paying the palace to the PNV”, and that Madrid will continue to apply them “for a while.” In reality, the decree fell due to the vote against his own party, PP, which joined those of Vox and Junts.
Ayuso was referring to the Parisian property currently home to the Cervantes Institute, acquired in 1936 and later requisitioned by the Gestapo, whose return to the Basque nationalists was among the measures of the rejected decree and which the PP opposed. “We are going to do everything in our power to prolong it.” [el descuento en los transportes]”But also let it be clear that this problem has arisen and above all for defending paying the palace to the PNV,” said the Madrid leader this afternoon in statements to the media at the Fitur tourism fair.
“I want it to be clear that the fault does not lie with the autonomies […] “They are looking for culprits all the time, but we are only assuming a situation that has arisen due to a lack of parliamentary support and the weakness of the Government,” Ayuso has argued in this regard, whose Executive had already announced that it would maintain the discounts “for the moment.” although calling on the Ministry of Transport to extend them by other means.
Today he has not specified deadlines either. “We are going to assume these prices for a while, but obviously it cannot be forever because we are carrying out large infrastructures, we have electricity costs, new wagons and the modernization of one of the best transports in the world,” he indicated.
“Pride” for not negotiating with the PP
The decree was rejected due to the refusal of the PP and also that of Junts, whose “seven votes”, in reference to the seven deputies in the Congress of the Catalan nationalist party, had been, according to Ayuso’s thesis, the price of “betrayal”. ” from the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, on account of the negotiation of the amnesty law. Today the votes that can be criticized are, similarly, those of the PNV. “It seems curious to me to see how a government is dragged by a party and by parties that have five seats, that is, the government’s arrogance prevents it from understanding that instead of seeing itself at the feet of these parties it should have the humility to stand in contact with the Popular Party,” he defended.
The Madrid leader has not distanced herself from the party’s national line regarding the other reasons for the PP’s rejection of the defunct decree: the increase in VAT and the supposed danger of the occupation due to maintaining the limitation on evictions.
“The pension reform has been a pretext to sneak in an increase in VAT on food, encourage squatting and give the PNV a palace. I think that what the government has to do is talk to the main political party in the Congress of Deputies and agree to the new initiative of the Popular Party so that pensions can be revalued, and do so immediately. The problem would end there,” he concluded.
