Ayuso agrees with Feijóo in ruling out a motion of no confidence in Sánchez

Isabel Díaz Ayuso has resumed political activity after the Constitution Bridge and has done so, once again, positioning herself on issues of a national nature that transcend the tasks of her presidency of the Community of Madrid. The novelty, however, is that his position has coincided on this occasion with those of his leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in estimating that raising a motion of censure against Pedro Sánchez, as requested by Vox and Ciudadanos, "would not be of any use ".

Despite regretting that Spain is experiencing the "black month of democracy" with the president of the Government "turned into law" without "separation of powers", the president of the Community of Madrid has indicated in an interview on the Cope network that If right now they went to a motion of no confidence, what they would do is deceive themselves. The popular leader assumes that the right-wing would lose that vote, which, in her opinion, would result in "whitewashing all these legal modifications by giving the government and its pro-independence partners a parliamentary victory."

Ayuso also argues that the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, "knows how to play perfectly with the times" so that the laws pending modification were debated first and then the motion. On the other hand, the Madrid leader predicts that, if elections were called, Sánchez would "lose them miserably."

"If we take the motion of no confidence to the Congress of Deputies, he will win it," he acknowledged, while recalling that the president presented a motion of no confidence "with ETA and with the independentistas because" he first prepared it, then he looked for an excuse and finally raised it by overthrowing Mariano Rajoy".

Ayuso, in fact, not only discards the proposal of Vox and Cs, but also criticizes it by estimating that the activation of this mechanism will only serve for "Sánchez to rearm" (...) "What is useful is the revolution of the ballot boxes and it serves that on May 28 in every town in this country, in more than 8,000 municipalities in Spain there will be ballot boxes and this PSOE of Pedro Sánchez must be removed from the institutions but all together", he remarked.

For Ayuso, the management of the coalition Executive is writing "the black month of Spanish democracy" and something like this has not been experienced "since the dictatorship." "Sánchez is doing the complete opposite of what he told the electorate," he remarked.

In this sense, the Madrid leader has recovered her usual battery of arguments, criticizing that the Prime Minister said that he did not want pacts between the parties to place the judges and now he is changing this to become "the one who puts them". "He has become the law. Right now there is no separation of powers and what he wants is for there to be Tezanos in all institutions," she stated. Likewise, the Madrid president has insisted that what they want is to "shield themselves" and have the opposition, the adversary, if it is "in jail, better."

On the other hand, and asked about the positive vision that the President of the Government could have in the European Union, Ayuso has maintained that Europe is not "the place where you are going to make friends" because "there each country is going to claim its own ". On this point, she has maintained that "in the most memorable times of the Government of José María Aznar, being a respected man in the institutions, he did not make friends."

"The one who goes to flirt and bake there may look good in a personal capacity but he is abandoning the interests of his own country, which is what is happening now. So I think we have ourselves. I don't know if Europe knows what that is happening but of course he is not going to get involved in what he considers to be the internal issues of each country", he declared.
