The controversy over the statements by the vice president and spokesperson for the Community of Madrid, Enrique Ossorio, about the deaths in residences during the first stage of Covid has returned the tension to the beginning of the Assembly Plenary.
While the left called for a disapproval and "his immediate dismissal" amid cries of "resignation", in the ranks of the PP the defense has been total with its parliamentarian
.
"The left of this country is carried away by unreason. Pablo Iglesias already said that the pain of families had to be politicized and that is what we are seeing once again," said the
popular
spokesman in the Assembly before the start of the Plenary.
Pedro Munoz Abrines.
Once the session began, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has avoided referring to the words of her vice president despite continuous requests from the left.
But the regional leader has joined
the standing ovation that the bench of her party has offered in Enrique Ossorio's first intervention.
Intervention that has not had the presence of
the parliamentarians of the PSOE, who in protest, have left the Hemicycle
.
Like some deputies from Más Madrid or United We Can.
Those present shouted "resignation, resignation" that were cut off by the president of the Assembly, María Eugenia Carballedo.
"It is a shame for the people of Madrid whom we represent. Stop interrupting, stop using violence and listen to the vice president. Silence or I will be forced to take measures that none of us want," she said.
It was at that moment when the regional vice president made reference to the controversy after having affirmed yesterday that "
the families have already overcome it [the deaths of their relatives in residences] and returning to this for electoral interest is not appropriate."
"Those ruthless politicians who lied want to pin something on me that I haven't said. I'm tired of them changing what I say to make crappy politics. The lack of dignity should have a limit even for your honorable members. That's miserable, shameful and they should having resigned", assured the also Minister of Education.
The Minister of the Presidency, Interior and Justice, Enrique López, has also shown at the beginning of his speech "full support" for his colleague and has addressed the PSOE group when they have returned to their seats.
"Return to democratic and political maturity.
Joining and wanting to advance the radicalism that accompanies you is a mistake, you are not going to get a single vote. Change
", he remarked.
Also the Minister of the Environment, Paloma Martín, has closed ranks with Ossorio and has detailed that "this must be the temple of the word, not the temple of insults".
Criticism has come from the left that has described Enrique Ossorio's statements as "disgusting".
The spokeswoman for Más Madrid has pointed out that the vice president "again portrays his lack of humanity and dignity after yesterday insulting the families of the victims."
"He comes to put on the little number and receives applause from the PP, including Ayuso"
, she added later in a tweet.
From the PSOE, before leaving the Chamber, Juan Lobato stressed that "it is impossible to overcome the lack of respect, dignity and justice without knowing the truth".
"
Think that every elderly person in Madrid is a billionaire and you will see how he treats you with more respect
. I ask you for humility and respect. Tell your vice president to apologize and to leave the Government of Madrid," he concluded in his question to Ayuso .
The spokeswoman for United We Can, Alejandra Jacinto, has indicated that "the pain of the people does not understand political color" and has asked Ossorio to have "respect" for the relatives of the deceased.
