"I think it is time for him to give explanations and his own, and I think it is also important for

Begoña Gómez

, his wife, to give them, among other things because what is happening is an outcry in Spain." The president of the Community of Madrid,

Isabel Díaz Ayusó

, asked this Sunday the leader of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, to clarify the alleged contacts and meetings of his wife with Globalia before the rescue of

Air Europa

by the Central executive

.

In Santiago de Chile, where Ayuso has participated in an event to promote Vinos de Madrid, the leader of the Madrid Executive has maintained that "it

had never happened

that the wife of the President of the Government, coming from other sectors, began doing business in others and the decisions of these businesses will be taken to the Council of Ministers".

"The difference between one government and another is that I have budgets, Sánchez does not even have budgets;

I have legitimacy from the ballot boxes, which Sánchez does not have

; I carry out an electoral program, which Sánchez does not do; and I do not I have only one case of corruption in my government, which Sánchez does have," said the Madrid leader.

Ayuso has indicated, in relation to the attacks she has received after the Prosecutor's Office accused her partner, Alberto González, of tax crimes, that she understands Sánchez's

"concern and nervousness"

when it comes to using all the powers of the State against an individual. "to affect him. And he has stressed: "It is not my government, it has nothing to do with the management we are carrying out and furthermore this has already been judicialized. You will understand that I can say little."

In his opinion, the president's strategy is

"Chavista and Putinist"

, which "demonstrates that the Sánchez Government is very overwhelmed, very cornered and worried" by the case of Begoña Gómez and the Secretary of Organization of the PSOE.

Referendum in Catalonia

On the other hand, the president of the Community of Madrid has also warned of the

"scandal"

that a referendum may already be negotiating in Catalonia. "It was not on any road map except that of the independence movement," she said.

In addition, he has raised awareness in Chile of how Puigdemont's image or legal uncertainty

scare away investment

in Spain. "However, they know and detect that there are different ways of doing politics and that those of the Community of Madrid are based on low taxes, public-private collaboration, respect for investments," she concluded.
