The PSOE-M tries to mute the case of the mayor of Móstoles, Noelia Posse. The Regional Ethics Committee does not plan to meet for now - in fact it will not do so predictably before the general elections of November 10 - to discuss a possible sanction to the mayor after knowing at least seven cases of plug-in starring her. The situation of castling of Posse, which has the endorsement of Moncloa, as this newspaper revealed yesterday, and the need not to star in news headlines that continue to harm the party, have made the crisis cool to such an extent that, according to some party sources, nothing may happen in the end.

"The Committee is waiting for the more informal contacts to bear fruit," they said from the PSOE-M, but the truth is that the communication channels between the Regional Executive and Posse seem broken. In fact, many in the formation are surprised that José Manuel Franco, general secretary in Madrid, has remained silent about it in recent days, despite the fact that Posse faced a motion of disapproval yesterday, which went ahead with the votes of the opposition, PP, Citizens, Vox and More Madrid, Ganar-Móstoles [the latter was a government partner until the cases of nepotism began to explode] and his only ally in government, Podemos. Only the ten socialist councilors voted against the measure.

The rejection has no de facto political repercussion in the Consistory, but it is a new setback for Posse, which yesterday, during the Plenary session, was certainly nervous when she became the first failed mayor of the municipality.

Before the vote took place, Posse, who is suspended from militancy on a precautionary basis, took the floor to denounce that he is living "a witch hunt where there are many more lies than truths" and to defend that he has not committed any illegality, since all the appointments he has made "were accompanied by the appropriate legal and technical reports that support them." Posse insisted that "he has not appointed or anyone by finger", but to positions of trust "that the law protects." The mayor acknowledged that she made a "mistake" in appointing her sister as head of the Consistory Social Networks Area, but explained that when she heard the neighbors she stopped and asked for forgiveness.

The intense plenary session was held among enormous expectations - dozens of neighbors followed him on screens when he could not enter the plenary hall - and he was attended, among others, by Senator and People's Deputy Ana Camins, or the spokesman for Citizens in the Assembly, César Harvest

Both PP, Cs and Vox asked Posse to resign and accused her of "clinging to power with pride and irresponsibility." «Today you feel here questioned not only by the opposition, but by your Government partners and your own party. A popular clamor asks him to leave the City Hall with humility, ”said Mirina Cortés, spokesman for the PP. José Antonio Luelmo, spokesman for Citizens and promoter of the motion, told Posse that he has "turned the southern capital into the capital of the plug." "She is morally incapacitated to continue as mayor," he said.

From Más Madrid-Win Móstoles they were particularly blunt against the mayor. "Asking forgiveness is not taking responsibility, responsibility means resigning to put an end to this very serious institutional crisis," said Susana Garcia, her spokesman. From Podemos they justified that they have not left the Government because their pact "is with the PSOE, and not with Noelia Posse", but they did urge the mayor to resign. "We are not going to give the town to the right, but it is the PSOE that has in its hand a change of mayor," said Monica Monterreal, its spokesman.
