• 28-M Mónica García calls to unite the progressive vote in "the common house" of Más Madrid to confirm its 'sorpasso' to the PSOE
  • Madrid Podemos turns the harassment of Ayuso's brother into one of its assets to survive: a tarp in Madrid and a reporter chasing him

Podemos tries to elbow a space in Madrid so as not to disappear from the Assembly or the City Council of the capital, where it fights to reach at all costs 5% of the votes to achieve representation. In that objective he has established an aggressive strategy that has led him to undertake a campaign of harassment against the brother of Isabel Díaz Ayuso to gain notoriety and now it has been his turn to open fire against Más Madrid, his main competitor in the space of the alternative left to the PSOE.

The general secretary of Podemos, Ione Belarra, has charged against the party of Mónica García and Rita Maestre for representing a "cuqui left" that is not "brave" and that does not dare to "give the fights". "That is the problem," he stressed at an event this Sunday in the Plaza de las Peñuelas, in the district of Arganzuela, before about 200 people and together with the candidates of Podemos-IU-Alianza Verde to the Assembly of Madrid, Alejandra Jacinto, and to the City Council, Roberto Sotomayor, and the national leader Isa Serra.

"It is very good to have a cute left, but more needed is a useful, brave left that fights against a right that is savage," Belarra emphasized. Thus, he has defended that Podemos is "the ideological engine of the left" and that if his party is not "nothing changes", "no matter how much they say yes".

Hence, he has claimed that if in a place "you need to be very strong", in an "essential" way, it is in Madrid. Because there is already the experience of "what happens when Podemos is not strong or when it is not at all".

Before the nonsense that they have made in More Madrid and the PSOE to the campaign of harassment against the brother of Ayuso, which they have not seconded, Belarra has recriminated that "cuqui left" and the "media progress" that do not see it well or that they accuse them of generating "a lot of noise". "The problem is that if he does not say it and does this political space nobody does," defended the Minister of Social Rights.

Belarra has accused Ayuso's brother of being "a jeta who took 300,000 euros" during the pandemic and has affirmed that the Madrid president is a "corrupt". In this offensive, the general secretary of Podemos has warned that they will only remove the canvas they have deployed in the district of Salamanca "if they return the money."

He has also lashed out against Más Madrid and the PSOE to defend that they are not parties that will go "all the way" to apply certain policies such as the Housing Law, but that they will "shake their legs", unlike the candidates of Podemos-IU-Alianza Verde.

Regarding housing, which is one of the campaign axes of the purple, Belarra has announced an initiative in all the autonomies where they govern to limit the purchase of housing to non-residents in the areas of the cities or islands where the market is "stressed". "The houses are for living and not for speculating," he said. It is a complementary measure to limit tourist rentals to 2%.

In her speech, the regional candidate, Alejandra Jacinto, has accused Ayuso of being the president of "arrogance", without "ethics" and that she is "corrupt". He has demanded that he give explanations for the commissions charged by Tomás Díaz Ayuso and has defended that they are a formation that does not shut up about this.

For his part, the candidate for the City Council, Roberto Sotomayor, has charged against Ana Rosa Quintana, whom he has labeled as "corrupt", and Pablo Motos, whom he has warned that he will "stop his feet". He also said that the only eviction that will occur in Madrid from May 28 is that of Ayuso and José Luis Martínez-Almeida.
