Ayuso will attend the demonstration in Barcelona to "stop the blow to democracy"

The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has given her support to the Catalan Civil Society demonstration in rejection of the amnesty demanded by the Catalan independence movement and has announced that she will attend the call of this citizen platform on October 8 in Barcelona.

“Not in my name. No amnesty. Nor self-determination,” reads the motto of the Catalan Civil Society call to which the Madrid leader has said that she will attend. "I will be there to stop the blow to democracy that would mean approving an impunity law," the result of an agreement with ERC and JxCat to invest Pedro Sánchez, she has written on her X account (formerly Twitter).

On the other hand, the general secretary of the PP of Madrid, Alfonso Serrano, confirmed this Tuesday that his party will present, in all city councils in the region, motions against the amnesty.

The Madrid PP thus aligns itself with the offensive designed by the national leadership of Alberto Núñez Feijóo, so that the officials and elected officials of the PSOE give their opinion on the demands for amnesty and self-determination.

This was conveyed to the media at the Casa de Correos, after meeting with the regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The regional Executive will present the initiative as a Non-Law Proposition (PNL) and it will be the first measure that Ayuso implements in this mandate.

This Tuesday the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, outlined the initiatives that his party will deploy in response to Junts' claims. The popular ones will assert their absolute majority in the Senate to request that the General Commission of Autonomous Communities be established with the aim of forcing the regional presidents to take a position on the relationship between the socialists and the independence movement and will take the issue to the autonomies and consistories. .

The former president of the Government José María Aznar has called for a new "Enough now!" and has called to "stand up with all determination" against a plan of "camouflaged self-determination" that puts at risk the continuity of Spain as a nation, in reference to the possible pact between Pedro Sánchez and the former president of the Government Carles Puigdemont. Furthermore, he has warned that no democratic State accepts an amnesty that legitimizes an "attempted coup" and invites "doing it again."

This was stated by Aznar at the inauguration of the campus organized by the Foundation for Analysis and Social Studies (FAES), where he maintained that "the surrender of socialism to secessionism" in exchange for "maintaining power" is "the most "destructive" that democracy has suffered.

In this sense. The acting Government this Tuesday demanded the leader of the Popular Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, to "immediately" urge former president José María Aznar to rectify his latest statements because in La Moncloa they consider that they are more typical of "anti-democratic and coup-like behavior" than of an ex-mandary. This was stated by the Minister of Territorial Policy and spokesperson for the acting Government, Isabel Rodríguez, in the press conference she offered after the Council of Minister when she was asked about Aznar's words.
