The Government and the PSOE urge Feijóo to ask for Ayuso's resignation: “There is no escape”

“The accusation of the partner of the president of the Community of Madrid leaves Alberto Núñez Feijóo with no choice but to ask him to resign,” the PSOE leadership has warned. “He has no possible escape: he must make the call immediately. The time to put on a profile is over,” the socialists have urged the leader of the Popular Party.

“She lied to us all, she falsely accused the Treasury and the Prosecutor's Office,” warned the Government spokesperson, Pilar Alegría, about Isabel Díaz Ayuso. “Today, a judge has charged Ayuso's partner with two tax crimes. Feijóo no longer has an excuse: he must demand Ayuso's resignation,” the minister spokesperson claimed. With a warning to Feijóo: “Your silence is complicit.”

Pedro Sánchez, the entire Government and the leadership of the PSOE have been putting pressure on Feijóo without success since the Prosecutor's Office complaint for alleged tax fraud against Isabel Díaz Ayuso's partner, Alberto González Amador, was revealed last week. But the initiation of preliminary proceedings agreed this Friday by the judge of the investigating court number 19 of Madrid against the boyfriend of the president of the Community of Madrid, for two alleged crimes of tax fraud and an alleged crime of forgery in a commercial document, they believe which already leaves the PP leader on the ropes, and with no possible escape to demand “political responsibilities” from the Madrid president.

“The situation of President Isabel Díaz Ayuso is unsustainable, and that of Alberto Núñez Feijóo will be if she does not immediately demand her resignation,” stressed, for his part, the PSOE spokesperson in Congress, Patxi López. “His silence will be complicit,” he stressed, in line with Alegría's warning.

“Complicity or cowardice?” ask the socialists, who have come out against Feijóo after the accusation of Ayuso's partner. “How many more hoaxes and threats will be necessary from Ayuso and his chief of staff to try to cover up all this?” questioned the PSOE organization secretary, Santos Cerdán, also referring to Ayuso's chief of staff, Miguel. Angel Rodriguez. “And Feijóo, how much more will he have to raise the tone to cover up the fact that he is neither demanding resignations nor political responsibilities?” He warned. In Ferraz they consider that Feijóo has targeted the wife of the President of the Government, Begoña Gómez, only as a smokescreen to try to cover "his lack of courage" by not daring to ask for Ayuso's resignation.

Pedro Sánchez himself already directly called on Alberto Núñez Feijóo to act, in the dialectical duel that both fought in the Government control session in Congress last week. “I demand that you ask for Ayuso's resignation as president of the Community of Madrid, have courage, be brave, even if that costs you your position, like Casado,” he urged her. The head of the Executive thus reminded the leader of the PP that his predecessor in office, Pablo Casado, was struck down by his own party, in 2022, when he demanded explanations from Ayuso for the alleged irregularities that then affected the brother of the Madrid president. , Tomás Díaz Ayuso.
