The double face of Vox in Madrid makes Almeida desperate: "They block the city"

December flies by, the days go by and the City Council heads towards its last bars of the year, always decisive in approving the budgets for the following year.

If in Sol,

already has guaranteed accounts thanks to the announced abstention of Vox, in Cibeles, Almeida is losing patience with Abascal's party.

For now, not a single thread of negotiation is on the table.

That is why the mayor of Madrid appealed yesterday to the national leadership of Vox before the "very personal" position of the municipal spokesman,

, not to sit down to negotiate the 2023 budgets. The councilor looks up to ask the Vox leadership for explanations.

He does not understand two such opposing positions in the Community and the City Council.

On one site, collaboration;

in the other, bad face.

Almeida's anger is a measure of pressure towards a group with which the polls right now link him in the next legislature.

With more or less intensity, but most likely, given the poor prospects for Ciudadanos, Vox will be its key partner if it manages to win the elections.

Unless he takes off towards an absolute majority that no poll now grants him, he will have to agree with the green formation, either as part of his government or with forced external support.

In statements in Cibeles, Almeida again criticized the "closeness" of the municipal groups to sit down to negotiate the 2023 accounts, although he appealed "specifically" to those of the radical right.

It is not "understandable" for the mayor that Vox in the Community of Madrid "says that it cannot be blocked", but that in the City Council the spokesperson "does want to block the city of Madrid".

Almeida does not

some election year budgets, according to what his team says.

In fact, almost no one in the City Council expected that they would be carried out, since tradition says that on the eve of the polls, the parties already put on their battle gear and few pacts are possible.

But the attitude of Vox in the Assembly, a collaborator with the PP, made the mayor hope for an agreement.

He does not understand two such different positions in the same region.

“The year 2023 is extraordinarily important for this city.

It may be confirmation of the economic boom in the city of Madrid, and it cannot be subjected to the gamble and whim of Javier Ortega Smith.

Therefore, I think that Vox has something to say about it.

I think the party has something to say,
