Ayuso separates himself from Monasterio (Vox) on immigration: "I'm not going anywhere with you"

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has distanced herself from Vox's proposals and criticisms on immigration and has told the spokesperson of this formation in the Assembly, Rocío Monasterio, that on this issue she does not agree. she “nowhere.”

In the first question from the Vox spokesperson in the Government Control session this Thursday, Monasterio asked the Madrid president to go “together to close repatriation agreements, to close the MENAs centers, and to take the migrants from Alcalá to the door of La Moncloa.”

Faced with this proposal, Díaz Ayuso has accused the regional leader of Vox that “everything she says about immigration always comes with stigma.”

“In terms of immigration, I am not going anywhere with you,” said the president, while adding that, in addition, “it is clear” that Vox “does not have any proposal” and “they live to attack the PP.”

In his reply, Monasterio has insisted on criticizing the situation in which both the town of Alcalá de Henares finds itself, after the arrival of 1,500 migrants, and the transit room at Barajas Airport, which he has said is frightening. to investors and quality tourism.

For this reason, the Vox leader has reiterated her request that Díaz Ayuso accompany her to take the 1,500 migrants "with buses" to Pedro Sánchez at the door of La Moncloa.

Given this, the president has indicated to him that “we have a free Government” in Madrid and he does not need to impose “any type of duties.”

“Everything he says about immigration always comes with stigma, but crime does not come with race, nor with the country, nor with its culture, it comes with unexpected situations and illegality,” Ayuso said.

The president has condemned that this stigmatization is what Monasterio wants to welcome, but has decided that her job as president is to “integrate and provide shelter” to migrants, “not only for humanity, but also to comply with the law.”
