The Government stands up to Ayuso: “More management and fewer occurrences”

The new government of Pedro Sánchez claims to begin the legislature that now begins with “an outstretched attitude” towards the Popular Party, as the first opposition party. But in Moncloa they already regret that, with the appointment as spokesperson of the popular group in Congress of Miguel Tellado, the same one who urged the President of the Government to leave Spain "in a trunk", Alberto Núñez Feijóo "has opted for the most hard".

“Feijóo has linked his destiny to the extreme right of Vox,” the new Government spokesperson, the socialist Pilar Alegría, warned this Tuesday at the end of the Council of Ministers. And so, every time the leader of the PP makes a statement, he has criticized, he loses “an opportunity” to present himself as the leader of a “constructive and sensible” opposition.

Alegría has trusted, however, that Tellado maintains “a constructive attitude” in this legislature. Although without many guarantees, or rather none, according to the socialists. “If one uses the newspaper library, there are few signs to be optimistic,” stressed the minister spokesperson, who criticized, without reproducing them, some “outbursts” by Tellado, as well as other “prosperous insults” by the president of the Community. from Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.

The Executive spokesperson has wondered, rhetorically, if these “insults” launched by the PP, in her opinion to “dehumanize” the President of the Government, reflect the “principles and values” that the main opposition party wants to transmit to the young people and the whole of Spanish society. “On the part of this government – ​​Alegría has assured – we are not going to lose our calm, nor will we ever go down the path of insults and tension.” “We are not going to feed young people and Spanish society with that rotten fruit,” she warned, after Ayuso insulted Sánchez, during his investiture debate, and excused himself with “I like fruit.”

Alegría, above all, has blamed Ayuso, who has complained that the Government has not extended an invitation to attend tomorrow the inauguration of the section of the AVE between León and Oviedo, which will be attended by the presidents of the autonomies through which the new work runs: that of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco (PP), and that of Asturias, Adrián Barbón (PSOE). “More management and fewer occurrences,” Alegría replied to Ayuso.

The president of the Community of Madrid, according to the minister spokesperson, has an “unusual interest in occupying media space.” But Alegría has prescribed that she do so by explaining her policies to the people of Madrid, “and not based on occurrences.” Ayuso has warned that he will never invite any member of the central Executive to any event in Madrid.

In this sense, Alegría has demanded that Ayuso explain to the people of Madrid why the price of cafeterias in public schools has increased or why it has repealed, “through the back door”, the laws for the protection of the LGTBI collective in this community. The minister spokesperson has entrusted the Madrid president to dedicate “her time and efforts” to these issues.
