If the weekly plenary session of the Madrid Assembly did not have, in itself, enough combative load - today, for example, the PP plans to approve by single reading, and without parliamentary debate, the regularization of Transport Vehicles with Driver (VTC)- United We Can has brought to the hemicycle the controversial words of Isabel Díaz Ayuso last weekend. The same ones for which she affirmed that feminism is typical of "spoiled women who aspire to arrive alone and drunk."
It has been the deputy spokesperson for United We Can, Alejandra Jacinto, who has responded to the regional president accusing her of "feeding the culture of rape" with those statements.
Jacinto has reproached Ayuso for his "disgusting" statements in which he charged against feminism. In her exposition, the purple spokeswoman has emphasized that Ayuso's words "blame women victims of sexual assault", something that, in her opinion, is not typical of a president of the Community of Madrid. "Your sectarianism against the Government of the nation is even more important to you than the freedom and security of Madrid women," she said.
Attacks to which Ayuso has responded by assuring that it is, precisely, the left that from the central government "promotes indoctrination in the classrooms, chem sex, the use of drugs without limits." "You are the ones who are trying to bully the youth, who are going to give them things, which has to be a victimized youth," said Ayuso, redoubling his words by adding that "spoiled women do not know what it means to come to an end of the month, work for themselves and lift a country in the worst difficulties". "They always go with the same mantras: work less, collectivize and whimper, and be subsidized to be in opposition to men," he remarked.
Returning to the agenda, the modification of the Transport Law that seeks to regularize Transport Vehicles with Drivers (VTC) arrives this Thursday at the Plenary Session of the Madrid Assembly through the single reading procedure. That is to say, without parliamentary debate and with which the right to present amendments declines.
This measure has been the excuse used by Vox to once again leave its support for the PP up in the air. Although all the corridor conversations in the hemicycle indicated from the first hour that the ultranationalists will end up abstaining to support, once again, the PP with whom they form a de facto coalition recognized by both parties.
Its spokesperson, Rocío Monasterio, considers that "there are many issues that have not been considered" and misses the fact that in the parliamentary debate that there will not be "the representatives of the taxi and the VTC could be heard so that this law was the best possible and combine the interests of both groups".
From the left, the leader of the opposition, Mónica García (Más Madrid), understands that "the Law that is going to be approved through the back door comes to deregulate and open the door again to vulture funds and foreign interests making the sector of the taxi and causing 25,000 families to live in uncertainty".
The position of the Community of Madrid, established by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, David Pérez, is to stress that "there is no legislation against taxis, but rather so that the 8,000 VTCs in the region can continue to do their job" . In addition, he understands that he has to prioritize the interest of the citizen and that he cannot go "against the advance of time" and, therefore, they will continue with their hands outstretched, especially in the negotiation of the regulations that are "what matters".
In this sense, Ayuso has tried to avoid criticism from the left and from the taxi sector - some of his representatives have followed the debate from the guest gallery - ensuring that all models can coexist. "I want the best for the taxi, but I want all the models to coexist because here you are not going to go on a donkey, as you want and as your friend Colau does. What we want is for the taxi sector to continue and for each be closer to all citizens", he insisted.
