The stay in New York of the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the Middle East crisis have ignited the plenary session of the Madrid Assembly this Thursday, in which the opposition has called the trip "zendalism" in reference to the management of the Madrid president of the covid pandemic, and the president has branded the Más Madrid deputies as "anti-Semitic", after which they have accused the popular ones of being "on the side of genocide."
The atmosphere in the chamber has begun to heat up when Díaz Ayuso said in response to García's question that in the PP they are in favor of "the liberal democracies of the world" such as Israel, while in Más Madrid they are not "in favor of the cause Palestinian but is deeply ansitemite.
Following these statements, the deputy spokesperson for Más Madrid, Javier Padilla, has asked the president of the Assembly, Enrique Ossorio, to speak for "doubtfully violating the honor" of his parliamentary group and has accused the PP of "being on the side of genocide" and being "the party of war" for not condemning the deaths of children in Palestine.
In the midst of the reproaches launched from both benches and with calls for order to the parliamentarians of Más Madrid, Ayuso has taken advantage of his intervention in the response to the PP spokesperson, Carlos Díaz Pache, to specify that anti-Semitic means having "hostility and prejudices towards Jews, their culture". "Nothing is happening," said the president, who has criticized Más Madrid for accusing the PP of "protecting genocides", of being "Nazi" or of being a "fascist".
All of this in a context in which a minute of silence proposed by Vox for the civilian victims in Gaza "used as human shields by Hamas" could not be agreed upon, given the rejection of Mas Madrid.
In relation to the president's stay in New York, the PSOE spokesperson in the Madrid Assembly, Juan Lobato, has asked her to make work trips "for useful things" and not to have a "one-hour meeting with Rafael Yuste ”, a researcher “with whom he already met and took the same photo a year ago.”
“While the cameras are recording you, Madrid is left behind,” he snapped after lamenting that the regional president “has been selling the same thing for years” and asking him to “move from the photo to the management.”
For her part, Mónica García has assured that it was a “luxury trip paid for by the people of Madrid.” In addition, she has disgraced Ayuso that “while she was celebrating, hospitals and schools were bombed by the savage law of an eye for an eye,” in reference to Israel's bombings in the Gaza Strip.
Ayuso has attributed the criticism from the left to an “attack of jealousy” and has stated that the agenda, “although brief, has been very intense.”
