The president of the PP, Pablo Casado, is categorical: there will be no early elections in the Community of Madrid, despite the crisis between Ciudadanos and the PP within the government of the region.

"In Madrid there will be no advance electoral advance and there will be no motion of censure," he has settled.

"The commitment we have, both Inés Arrimadas and I, as national presidents of these parties, is firm: we do not depend on anyone else and no one can pressure us," he said.

It is important to underline a part of that sentence: "We do not depend on anyone else."

In other words, Casado and Arrimadas would impose their authority on Isabel Díaz Ayuso, regional president, and Ignacio Aguado, vice president.

"And if there were a motion with defectors, the new anti-transfuguism law would not validate those votes," he has justified.

In addition, Casado recalled that "Citizens in Madrid have supported the investiture of the last four presidents of the PP".

"Aguado and Ayuso I think they have the same principles and objectives in politics. Both are in favor, now, of lowering taxes," he exemplified.

Of course, although he does not believe that there will be elections, Casado does believe that the national Executive "intends to overthrow a legitimately formed government, due to a pandemic."

"The Government is portraying itself", in his opinion, due to its inactivity in the face of bad data from Madrid: "What we have been demanding for six months is a state framework", more surveillance and PCR at the Barajas Airport, more effective than security (since Madrid does not have its own police force)) and better economic conditions for doctors.

"And they have not done it; what they have done is to attack the Community of Madrid."

Regarding the revelations of EL MUNDO regarding the alerts issued by the Department of National Security on March 7 and 8, Casado has stressed that "the Government refuses to investigate what happened 80 days ago."

Asked about the possibility of reporting it to the State Attorney General's Office, he replied: "Do you think that Lola Delgado was going to accept a complaint from the PP? If she is the political commissioner of the Government!"

"I am not saying that we should not resort to the courts; what I am saying is that we are trying to have it investigated in the Parliament in a democracy," he added later.

But he has announced: "We will go to Europe if the Government takes the CGPJ by storm."

On account of the motion presented by Vox, the president of the PP has not wanted to get wet on the meaning of his vote (abstention or "no").

"We are not going to support the motion. If it went ahead, we don't have the votes, it would be me who would have presented it," he said.

"As long as three parties [PP, Vox and Cs] go against two [PSOE and United We Can]" to the elections, the electoral law will not allow the right to govern, he explained, in a call to "regroup" the vote into one option, yours.
