Isabel Díaz Ayuso will not change her campaign course. If, as the PP in Madrid thinks, EH Bildu is an issue that can provide them with electoral gains, they will continue to ask for its illegalization, no matter how much the national leadership of their party has ruled out such an initiative up to two times. And if his words indicating that "ETA is still alive" and that "it is in power" have been criticized by Covite -the same group of victims of terrorism that, precisely, denounced the presence of former ETA members convicted of blood crimes in the electoral lists of the pro-independence formation - the regional president will not hesitate to snub anyone who says so. Even if she is the president of the aforementioned association, Consuelo Ordoñez -sister of Gregorio, popular councilor assassinated by the terrorist group- of whom she has pointed out that she "has had personal problems with the PP for years now".
This is how Ayuso answered in an interview with RNE, claiming the support of "the vast majority of victims" for not understanding how EH Bildu "is in the institutions with what is happening", nor how "it is being whitewashed" to "rewrite the history of Spain".
After seeing how the national PP has come out to contain its momentum, settling that the aforementioned pro-independence formation has not committed any illegality in confirming the electoral lists, the Madrid leader has qualified that she is not throwing "a pulse" at the PP or "very much less" to its president, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, but to Bildu. And that is why she has insisted on studying any possibility that could allow its illegalization through the Law of Parties.
"It is not revenge, it is justice. Where if I see something that should make us all consider what is happening, it is when the speech of Bildu and that of (Pedro) Sánchez, that of Bildu and that of Podemos, are all in the same line. That's where I start to worry," he said.
Ayuso feels obliged to defend this because it is the very reason why she joined the PP and the speeches that she has "always" maintained. And he has argued for it, recalling that when he went to work as a journalist for the 2005 elections, in which the former president of the Basque PP María San Gil attended, he noticed that there were people who every day looked "at the bottom of their cars in case they had installed a bomb" or "escorted" people who had to go to take exams at the university.
"Since then, I realized that in Spain we had a very serious problem with a project that is not going to be satisfied, that is going to continue annexing other areas of Spain later," he underlined below.
"The only thing I ask is that simply the Senate or Congress, perhaps when there are other majorities that urge the Supreme Court, as requested by the Law on Parties, to look at it," Ayuso pointed out before insisting that she does not need "electorally this issue for absolutely nothing" because the polls show that "things are going very well."
Despite this, barely two hours later, during a PP rally in Parla, Ayuso has influenced his roadmap: "They are looking for a discrepancy in the PP, they use a controversy that they themselves feed so as not to explain that the government's messages and from Bildu they go in the same direction, they help each other”, he said.
