• PP Esperanza Aguirre: "Putting internal obstacles on Ayuso is helping Sánchez"

  • Corriere della Sera Isabel Díaz Ayuso: "Me in Moncloa? Never. If it is for a woman, the first will be a socialist"

The statements of Esperanza Aguirre in her interview in EL MUNDO have added fuel to the internal controversy of the PP in Madrid. The former president of the Community of Madrid is in favor of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and assures that "putting obstacles in the way is helping Sánchez." But not only that: he calls some of the leaders of Genoa and the Madrid City Council "kids" and "chiquilicuatres", without specifying which ones.

The response of the national leadership of the PP has also been overwhelming. The general secretary of the PP, Teodoro García Egea, has assured that "what destroyed the Popular Party of Madrid was corruption", in reference to the cases that were forged in the Community during the years in which Aguirre presided over the regional apparatus (Gürtel , Lezo, Púnica or the Caja Madrid scandals). And he has stressed that it is something that the current leadership of Pablo Casado "will never allow."

In a press conference at the party's national headquarters, García Egea assured that Aguirre "should go" a little through the Popular Party's national headquarters and added that he will invite her to go more so that she can see that there are people working to "build a national project that Spain needs today ". In his opinion, at this time they must "focus on what is important" and not on the internal struggle in Madrid.

If Aguirre added salt to the wound, Genoa redoubled its pulse. And Ayuso launched an ordeal: now he demands that the PP congress in Madrid be held as soon as possible. The Madrid baroness demanded that the internal conclave "be held soon" to "give normality" to the party and to allow the candidates to "settle down" for future elections. The national leadership has rejected it outright and has assured that it will be held at the end of next semester.

Ayuso has downplayed the support that the training leadership could give them, ensuring that "party issues are always very complex," in an interview on esRadio reported by Efe.

His words come after Aguirre asked in this newspaper for a congress "as soon as possible" and took the opportunity to criticize the sector close to the mayor of Madrid, José Luis-Martínez Almeida, whom he has referred to as "little children headed by a boy whose name I don't want to remember. "

He also assured in the interview that the PP model in Madrid today (where the president of the Community does not lead the party) "does not make sense."

"Those little kids who are intoxicating in Genoa shouldn't talk nonsense," he added.

After responding with corruption, García Egea wanted to give a long change to these criticisms of Aguirre and insisted that "the important thing" is that the PP is focused on the issues that concern the Spanish.

"And it will allow me not to spend a minute on other things, out of respect for the citizens who expect a serious solution to the problems that Spain has," he stressed.

The 'number two' of the PP has highlighted that by agreement of the National Board of Directors of the party, the uniprovincial congresses will be held in the first half of next year.

"It is a rule that we are all going to comply with and that of course the national leadership will comply," he emphasized.

The 'number two' of Pablo Casado has indicated that "when the moment comes they will address that congress" of the PP in Madrid.

"The national leadership has absolutely nothing to comment on this because when that time comes we will address this issue," he said, to reiterate that the PP is focused on the issues that concern the Spanish.
