As if it were a pop star, a thousand people have wrapped this Sunday the president of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in a pre-election act in Valencia. A visit to give his support to the Valencian candidates of the PP, Carlos Mazón and María José Catalá, but that Ayuso has taken advantage of to charge against the Government of Ximo Puig: "The image of the Valencian Community has long changed for the worse," he said to applause. The next one he pointed the accusing finger at Pedro Sánchez.

Ayuso has directly accused the president of the Government of Spain of scheming a plan to heat the street in the face of a hypothetical electoral overturn in the general elections. Moreover, he has insisted that the legislative rush of the current coalition Executive of PSOE and Unidas Podemos has not so much to do with the end of the legislature as with the need to prepare a minefield for the PP and Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

"As their time is running out," he said in reference to the Sánchez government, "they have to take Spain to an extreme so that there are demonstrations." "They live from the grievance and division they make from Moncloa, but there are a few months left for this nightmare to end and that is why they are legislating at high speed, so that Spain is not governable and that when Feijóo arrives he has political commissars [of Sánchez] in all institutions, "he denounced, to warn then that Spain follows the path of countries such as Venezuela or Cuba.

"They legislate running because they know they are going to be kicked out," said Ayuso, who has asked for the vote for the PP and a massive attendance at the polls in the regional and municipal elections in May because "socialism comes out." In this sense, he has proposed to Mazón and Catalá to reissue the famous "axis of prosperity" that former regional presidents Esperanza Aguirre and Francisco Camps claimed in their day.

On the contrary, Ayuso has considered that Valencia is today an example of the "identity business that is eating away and dividing Spain with language". "There is no right to manufacture a country where there was none or to create a regionalist feeling where there was none," he said in the main city governed by Compromís, by the hand of Joan Ribó. "There have never been so many territorial tensions in Spain as there are now," he said.

Ayuso, in addition, has had a final message for Puig, who in recent years has charged against the centralism from which Madrid benefits: "Madrid is not going to grow at the expense of anyone nor Valencia has to grow at the expense of anyone."
