• Energy The Government will review the heating aid to large families after the controversy with the number two of Ayuso

The Government's thermal bond has fueled a new political disagreement in the Community of Madrid. After learning that the regional vice president, Enrique Ossorio, had received the aid of 192 euros to pay for heating for being a large family despite his high wealth, the spokeswoman for More Madrid, Monica Garcia, asked for the immediate resignation of the number 2 of the Government "out of shame".

Among the beneficiaries of that same aid, which is managed by the Ministry of Ecological Transition, is the husband of the spokeswoman for Más Madrid. However, from the formation of the left they assure that "the situation is not comparable". "The president of the Community of Madrid and her vice president have spoken of paguitas and subsidized and maintained when it comes to others and take chest of the aid when they grant it to themselves," point out sources of the team of Monica Garcia.

"The vice president is a man who has insulted vulnerable people and has even come to deny their existence in the Community of Madrid," they add from More Madrid, in reference to the incident of Ossorio denying the existence of poor in Madrid last March, while in the PP they affect that Monica Garcia should be the one who presented his resignation in this case for "coherence" after describing as "indecent" the performance of Ossorio, who has a net worth of more than one million euros.

The number two of the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso has assured that it is "perfectly ethical" to perceive this aid to be included in the legislation. "It is money from Pedro Sánchez, from the Government of Spain, the communities what they do is distribute it among the beneficiaries. They are the ones who have determined who should receive it and have said that it is all large families. And as long as we continue to be I will receive and accept all the aid, "said the Minister of Education at the press conference after the Governing Council.

"If someone is envious of large families for these aids, I invite you to be because it is much needed and much good for Spain and will see if they compensate those 192 euros," Ossorio justified, who added that "it is very important to defend the birth rate." "Large families make a great effort, for me it has been a great effort to have four children and therefore any help decided by the Government of Spain I will accept," he remarked.

The regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has also come out in defense of her vice president pointing out that "if they were only social aid as such or to the detriment of another person, such as a scholarship," she could understand the criticism. "But it is not the same because you do not take this away from anyone and secondly the conditions are not only economic," he stressed before highlighting that Ossorio has "the same right as others" despite his heritage.

Before the information about Monica Garcia's husband was confirmed by his party, the vice president had already remarked that if this charge is true "there is no greater hypocrisy" and that the statements of the spokeswoman for More Madrid show that "it has no limits to deceive citizens."
