Aguado, after meeting with the opposition but without Vox or his government partner: "We will recognize each other better at a table than in a trench"

The regional vice president, Ignacio Aguado, today welcomed the fact that he was able to start talking to the left opposition groups in the region about the reconstruction of the region, "something that seems revolutionary in these times." The meeting, which neither his government partner, PP, nor Vox attended, has achieved, according to Aguado, "the objective", which was "to speak and convey to the public opinion that we are able to sit down , understand each other and reduce tension , which I think right now is what's important. "

"It is important to exchange points of view and that we show the citizens that we speak and coordinate. Let us do politics in capital letters. It is to be satisfied," said Aguado after the meeting, held at the Vice-Presidency headquarters and attended by his parliamentary spokesman, César Zafra, and the leaders of the PSOE (Ángel Gabilondo), Más Madrid (Pablo G. Perpinyan) and Podemos (Isa Serra).

Aguado recalled to justify the meeting that Spain is "experiencing a historical pandemic", which has caused "30,000 deaths" and "broken" thousands of SMEs. "If we don't talk now, when are we going to talk?" Asked the leader of Ciudadanos. "That is why we have done it. That this allows us to break that dam and we can have a relationship with the opposition. We will recognize ourselves better at a table than in a trench."

According to the regional vice president, it has been agreed that the different political leaders consult their formations so that working groups can be set up to work on reconstruction, as Madrid City Council has done. "It is fantastic to do what the mayor does, the same as Moreno Bonilla does in Andalusia, or Mañueco in Castilla y León. In a moment of uncertainty, of polarization, where some live comfortable warming up the environment, there are responsible politicians capable of speaking and reaching out. to a type of agreement, "he said.
