The deputy of the PSOE Agustín Vinagre will finally be the president of the Budget and Finance Commission of the Community of Madrid after an agreement with the PP that Más Madrid has made ugly and described as "unheard of" for breaking the tradition that this position falls on the leading opposition party in the Chamber of Vallecas.
The play has been made in the last hours. This same morning the Socialists appealed to the PP to maintain the "plurality" of the Assembly and urged to support the Socialist for the Presidency of this commission, constituted this Wednesday.
The fine print of the agreement between PSOE and PP provides that Carlos González Maestre (PP) will sit next to Vinagre as vice president and Rafael Núñez Huesca (PP) as secretary.
Vinagre already held this position in the last legislature, specifically since December 2021, when her predecessor, the also socialist Pilar Sánchez Acera, was resigned from the Madrid Assembly. She also fell to the PSOE in the legislature that started in 2019 and concluded in 2021 with the electoral advance. In that case it was for Nicolás Rodríguez.
From Más Madrid they have charged against the "pact" between PP and PSOE to "snatch" this position and have questioned whether it is that the 'popular' are "more comfortable" with the socialists or because the latter prefer to agree with the party led by Isabel Díaz Ayuso and not with that of Mónica García.
The spokesperson for the green formation, Mónica García, has described this agreement as "unheard of". "In any case, the Madrid progressives can be sure of one thing, which is that Ayuso is going to have a fierce, firm and forceful opposition in Más Madrid," she guaranteed.
This Wednesday concludes the composition of the eighteen commissions that will be developed throughout this XIII Legislature of the Madrid Assembly.
