Isabel Díaz Ayuso
took office yesterday as re-elected president of Madrid with a speech in which a vast majority of Spaniards are surely recognized and which, however, would be surprising to hear so many regional leaders chained to identity and disruptive clichés or with too many partisan complexes .
Ayuso
claimed his region as an open, welcoming, inclusive and thriving territory;
Spain as a nation that unites us all and allows us to live in freedom;
already the Monarq
used as the backbone of our democratic system
.
In short, he highlighted the values of our constitutional homeland that were ignited in the Transition and that today its enemies intend to overthrow.
Yesterday was a solemn institutional act.
And, for this reason, the
scandalous and inadmissible absence of any member of the Government of the Nation
, as is customary in this type of ceremony.
The new display of sectarianism was not an ugly
Sanchez
and yours to Ayuso, but
one more offense to the whole of Madrid
, which is who Ayuso represents.
Moncloa's rudeness contrasted too much with the speed with which, for example, the minister
Iceta
attended weeks ago to the investiture of
Aragonese
as new president the Catalan Generalitat.
It is seen that this Government is more pleased to hear demands on independence consultations and attacks on the Crown than messages in favor of unity and support for
Philip VI
for their work.
The truth is that Ayuso demonstrated again yesterday that he exists
a clear alternative in the way of governing
, both in form and in substance.
If a minister had accompanied her, she might have blushed when she saw how the president reduces her Executive to nine councilors - "If we all have to tighten our belts, let's start with the rulers" - while
Sánchez leads one of the most oversized governments of democracy
.
Regarding policies, the president has made a clear promise to continue with the tax reduction that she has made in Madrid
the country's economic engine
, while Moncloa is studying how to impose new
fiscal sabbaticals
that harm both job creation and recovery in such an uncertain scenario.
