  • Courts The Prosecutor's Office denounces Ayuso's partner for an alleged tax fraud of 350,951 euros

  • Politics PSOE and Más Madrid ask for Ayuso's resignation for "lying" about her partner and she responds: "They are going to approve the most execrable law in history"

«Look at what we have had in Madrid in the last 20 years, saving Gallardón, four presidents thinking about other things and other issues.

Aguirre, Cifuentes, González... You are the same, in other things, that is why you have to resign, Mrs. Ayuso.

That was the main argument on which Juan Lobato's speech pivoted yesterday in the control session to the regional Government in the Madrid Assembly, transformed into a monograph on the alleged tax fraud of 350,000 euros by Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner, Alberto González Amador.

And that is the strategy that has been drawn up by the Madrid left parties, PSOE and Más Madrid, to try to corner the

popular

leader with this case: equate her figure with that of former presidents of the Community of Madrid surrounded by the corruption, especially with that of

Esperanza Aguirre

, under whose mandate Ayuso's political career began.

Although with nuances.

While in Más Madrid they point out that she is "the worthy heir" and "acts with the same modus operandi" as her predecessor, the socialists distance themselves from the term corruption and allude to the fact that the regional president "is not to manage" the capital but " influence national politics and his party.

However, in the

popular

ranks they affirm that it is "another kick from the left" in the face of "the overwhelming majority" of the regional president and those

around them trust that "the peak" of the controversy "has already passed

. "

"They don't know what to do and now it's time to ask for resignation for an issue that is not even related to the Community of Madrid," summarizes a party leader.

"Here we need people who don't come for a walk," they reply from the PSOE.

And in Más Madrid they add: "Reviewing the corruption cases of Aguirre and González,

Púnica

,

Lezo

... it is impossible not to see a parallel with what is now."

That atmosphere that the different parties convey in private conversations was experienced yesterday in the Hemicycle of the Madrid Assembly, where the accusation of tax fraud against Alberto González Amador by the Tax Agency and the Prosecutor's Office marked the Plenary Session and, above all, the control session, where the left-wing parties demanded Ayuso's resignation for "lying" about her partner.

«Here there is only a president who has lied and a party that is corrupt in Madrid: yours, Mrs. Ayuso.

For this reason, she resigned," remarked the PSOE spokesperson, Juan Lobato, who added that the popular leader must leave her position because she "has not known how to say what was happening around her."

"

And if she knew him and hasn't said anything, then she really doesn't deserve to continue in politics

," he elaborated.

The popular leader responded that the socialists have introduced the issue of her partner into the debate because they want to "cover up" the approval of the amnesty law, which became effective yesterday in the Congress of Deputies.

"They are going to approve the most corrupt and execrable law of democracy and it will weigh on them for their entire lives," said Ayuso, who stressed that Pedro Sánchez, Lobato himself and the entire socialist bench "are sitting in political and economic corruption." ».

"

And they are not going to cover that up no matter how many resignations they ask for seeking to destabilize me, my personal destruction

, when it is Pedro Sánchez who is destroyed," said the regional president, who on three occasions made indirect reference to Santos Cerdán's meetings with the critics of the PSOE-M against the current general secretary revealed by this newspaper.

"It doesn't surprise me that they want to change it in this way."

The resignation request also came to Ayuso from the Más Madrid bench.

His spokesperson, Manuela Bergerot, insisted that Ayuso "cuts everyone's rights while riding around in a Masseratti" and "does nothing to improve the lives of Madrid residents."

«

His government is going to fall sooner or later due to corruption, he does not have the moral stature to govern the Community of Madrid

.

He already demonstrated it by letting 7,291 people die, covering up his brother's commissions and now benefiting from a big deal that he bought with defrauded money.

What he should do is resign, resign once and for all," he concluded.

The president replied that "all the accusations" from Más Madrid about her partner's alleged tax fraud "are false" and said that Mónica García, leader of the party, has always lived "in a retirement home."

"You are much worse than the dead duck they put at the Mascletá crime scene," she concluded.
