Vox's investigation of residences strains the relationship with Ayuso for the Budgets and close to his number two

Waiting for the negotiation of the last Budgets of the legislature and with it facing its last months, Vox has decided to turn the tide in its confrontation for the right-wing space with Isabel Díaz Ayuso towards the management of the Community of Madrid in the nursing homes during the first stage of Covid.

This has been one of the main sources of opposition from left-wing groups in the Assembly, to which is added the formation headed by Rocío Monasterio, which

“This is very important, we have a moral obligation to improve the situation of our elderly and build a residence system that guarantees them to be calm and well cared for.

All

, ”said the Vox spokeswoman, who asked the parties on the left to join her initiative.

"Listening to them speak, it would not make any sense that they did not vote for it."

But the reactivation of the commission, presented a year ago and brought this week to the Board of Spokespersons, is directed especially at the regional government at a time when the book published by the former Minister of Social Policies, Alberto Reyero -

- has once again put the debate on residences on the table with the support of groups on the left,

.

The last one in July 2021, after the 4-M elections, when the left requested to continue with the investigative work prior to the elections.

That brake was put by Vox, who a few days earlier had been in favor of giving his support, and which, in the words of Monasterio, finally decided to abstain so as not to give rise to "the revenge" of the left.

An argument also shared by the national president of his party, Santiago Abascal, who repeatedly pointed out Pablo Iglesias as "solely responsible" for turning residences into "gulags" when he was vice president.

At Puerta del Sol they understand that this is "a desperate measure" by Vox to try to rival Ayuso in the final stretch of the mandate.

," say sources from the regional president's team.

“This commission only has an electoral interest and is going to cause damage to those families who will be able to think again if the death of their relatives could be avoided.

», affirmed yesterday the spokesman for the Community of Madrid, Enrique Ossorio, at the press conference after the Governing Council in which he stressed that «a false message is being sent to the families because we are suspecting whether the deaths could be have avoided when it is not so.

In fact, Ossorio himself described as "surprising" that Vox and Más Madrid "agree at this point in the legislature on this issue."

The leader of Más Madrid accused him of having "crossed all the red lines."

«This man

who not only have not forgotten our elders, but also want to investigate what happened until the end

Both More Madrid and the PSOE yesterday presented proposals to fail the vice president.

"For the respect and dignity that family members and the elderly who died in residences during the pandemic deserve, we ask for the disapproval of Enrique Ossorio so that he ceases to be vice president of the Community of Madrid. Enough of disrespect", affirmed the socialist spokesman Juan Lobato.

Now that disapproval remains in the hands of Vox, who was the one who presented the study commission on the residences, which will have to wait until next Thursday.

On Tuesday, it was Mónica García who set the conditions for that favorable vote: that "there is not only talk about the future model" of these centers and that "the stage of the pandemic is not falsely closed."

The Vox text states that

in the residences.

Something similar to what the groups on the left are asking for.
