The new internal battle between the two partners of the two-color Government of the Community of Madrid, in this case as a result of the plan for reconstruction after the coronavirus crisis, has ended with the clear victory of one of the opponents . The regional president, the popular Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has finally managed to impose that the talks with the opposition parties in the Vallecas Assembly be held one by one and starting with Vox, despite not being the majority.

Ignacio Aguado, the representative of Ciudadanos (Cs) with whom the Puerta del Sol Executive shares, was the one who marked the path of dialogue by calling all the spokespersons for a joint meeting on Monday. However, that appointment with a multilateral vocation ended up leaving the image of the representatives of the orange formation surrounded exclusively by those of the groups on the left: PSOE, Más Madrid and Unidas Podemos. Neither the regional leader, nor the PP nor Vox attended.

Even so, Ayuso's coalition partner has accepted the formal start of political talks at the highest regional level in a different format than his own. "Order matters little to me. The important thing is the substance, that we see each other (...). I do not want to stay in detail and lose focus on what we are looking for: to have a fluid dialogue with the opposition," he said. at a press conference after the Governing Council.

According to Aguado, this agreement has "collapsed a somewhat invisible wall" that "made a normalized relationship impossible" with the parties of the Madrid Parliament. Of them he said that they expect "reciprocity" regarding this gesture of "outstretched hand", "reduce tension" and "try to get try to get proposals, measures and positive initiatives" for all citizens.

Thus, the regional vice president considers his frustrated attempt to lead the negotiations with all the groups has been overcome , but which has helped Ayuso decide to move on. "What this is doing is launching a form of bilateral meeting that satisfies me and that I believe may be sufficient regardless of the fact that in the future other types of formats could be agreed within the scope of the Madrid Assembly," he stressed. .

In addition, Aguado has publicly thanked that the spokesperson for Vox, Rocío Monasterio, has conveyed to him that "he has no predisposition to be treated differently from other political groups." However, the radical right-wing formation that allowed the formation of the PP and Cs coalition government with its votes will be the first to be received this Thursday at Puerta del Sol, followed by the PSOE, which is the party that won the regional elections. from last year.

Then, on dates still to be specified, the representatives of the other groups will be called in an order that has not yet been specified, but as the parliamentary mechanics indicates, it will probably be from a greater number to a lower number of deputies. This closes one of the disagreement fronts within the regional Executive, although others remain latent.

The most controversial is that of the Minister of Social Policies, Alberto Reyero (Cs), who has said that it is not "ethical" and probably "not legal" that the Ministry of Health of his own Government, in the hands of the PP, stopped the transfer of elderly people from residences with coronavirus to hospitals. Aguado has not wanted to enter into controversy and has defended that those responsible for both parties have done "what was in their hands" to try to combat a pandemic that has come "without instructions manual .
