The general secretary of the PSOE of Madrid, José Manuel Franco, outlined this Tuesday the possibility of proposing a person outside his party - who was the winner of the 2019 elections - for the Presidency of the Community of Madrid in a future motion of censorship in order to evict

the current president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, from Puerta del Sol.

This is the fourth time since June that the socialist leader shakes the specter of the motion against the leader of the PP.

Unlike the previous occasions, in which he categorically denied said possibility, Ignacio Aguado, Ayuso's collation companion and the possible candidate before this hypothetical motion of censure, has limited himself to pointing out now that citizens have "other concerns" in these moments.

The also leader of Citizens in the region

has avoided answering the question of whether or not he would accept the offer of the PSOE

.

"In principle we have won the elections and this scenario would be very difficult for us, but if democratic hygiene leads us to that demand of having to pass because a non-socialist person presides over the Community and that leads to better management and

political change in Madrid, we would be willing to study it, "

Franco said in an interview on Cadena Ser collected by Europa Press on Tuesday about a possible pact to make a candidate from the

orange

formation president

.

However, the also delegate of the Government in Madrid has affirmed that in the Madrid sphere, unlike the national one, they have not had contact with Cs,

current partner of the bicolor regional government, whose votes are necessary for a motion of censure to proceed.

"But if in the end there is a budget agreement [in Spain between Cs and PSOE] and Inés Arrimadas, in exercise of responsibility and good sense, recommends Ignacio Aguado to support a motion of censure, we are prepared.

We have a team, a program and we have the suitable people

to govern in another way and demonstrate, once and for all, that another solution is possible, "he argued.

"Nip rumor mill in the bud"

Last May, when the option for the PSOE to promote a pact to unseat Ayuso sounded louder, Aguado was categorical.

"I believe that all the rumor mill and interested messages of the last days must be cut at the root and I am going to do it today and as many times as necessary: ​​we are not going to support any motion of censure," he said.

On this occasion, when his name appears in the equation as a possible substitute for the president of the PP, instead of the vice president of the socialist Ángel Gabilondo, the Madrid leader of Cs has no longer been so blunt.

In fact, in a somewhat unusual tactical move, he has anticipated the questions that he sensed that journalists were going to ask him about the matter in the press conference he offers as every Wednesday in his capacity as government spokesman, and

has limited himself to launch a

previously

canned message

that has not been left despite the questions that have been raised.

"Do you really believe, and I ask this question in the first person also to the secretary of the Socialist Party in Madrid, Mr. Franco, that the main concern of the people of Madrid, there, in the street is the motion of censure of the Socialist Party in the Community of Madrid?

I guarantee you not, "

said Aguado.

He then went on to list what, in his opinion, concerns citizens, "whether or not they will be able to charge the ERTE tomorrow", "if the ERTE is going to end and they will be fired", "if tomorrow They will call them from school saying that their son is the companion of a child who is infected and has to go home "," if the merchants, hoteliers, restaurateurs are going to be able to stay open for 15 more days "...

"To the PSOE of the Community of Madrid I propose that, if you really want to help, not this Government, but the people of Madrid, that they sit down, that they negotiate and that they approve the next Budgets. It will be their maximum contribution in this legislature and will

demonstrate a height of sight

s that all the Madrilenians crave in the current exceptional circumstances, "he added so as not to go out of that script.

"It's not the moment"

The leader of the Madrid Socialists has stated that

"they have plenty of reasons" to present a motion of censure

, but he believes, and most of the Socialists, that now is not the time for responsibility in the face of the coronavirus crisis.

"This Government deserves a motion of censure but today it would not be responsible to present it with what is falling, with the situation of the pandemic.

We must all join forces and work loyally to stop it. Right now is the moment of unity to fight the pandemic, "he said.

The representative of the central government in Madrid has asserted that during the 13 months of Ayuso's government

the PSOE "is the one who has made the most serious opposition

, making possible a commission to investigate what has happened to the residences, proposing a great reconstruction agreement and trying to fulfill the role of government control. "

However, he has criticized that

the PP and Cs "have kidnapped" the regional Parliament,

where "it is not possible to debate."

"If they continue to insist on preventing parliamentary control, we will deepen a motion of censure and we will be legitimized because the PSOE won the elections," he indicated.

Therefore, and although they do not reach an agreement with Citizens, José Manuel Franco has indicated that the PSOE of Madrid does not rule out proposing a motion of censure against Isabel Díaz Ayuso despite losing it: "Sometimes

the dignity and health of citizens is above the position

and the numbers. Even to lose, if the situation does not change, we would be willing to present it. "
