The PP of Madrid celebrated its usual Christmas dinner this Monday. With the presence of Alberto Núñez Feijóo and Isabel Díaz Ayuso as main attractions, and in a space closed to journalists. And as usual, his speeches spoke almost exclusively about Pedro Sánchez. The President of the Government as the sole cause of all the evils that affect him and the country. Both, confident in their imminent fall. Another year, and that’s four.
“We are in great shape, waiting for the moment when you take a step forward,” Ayuso told Feijóo as soon as he started. With the debate on the right over whether or not there should be a motion of censure, the national leadership of the PP categorically denies that Feijóo will take any “measure” because, they claim, he does not have the necessary votes.
The president of Madrid promised her party leader that “when this bad government falls”, they “will show him everything we aim for every day in politics” to “be an alternative to this misfortune that has hit all Spaniards”.
Ayuso called the government a “mafia.” He accused them of “seeking the evil of others” and forcing “people to buy into empty rhetoric that does not represent those who work hard.” Among the participants at the PP dinner in Madrid was its deputy secretary for the Organization, Ana Millán, who has been the subject of a judicial investigation for corruption.
Then, the president of Madrid defended “Western values”, which she later defined as “Catholic”, and Spain’s past, when it “brought civilization and human rights” to other places in the world. According to Ayuso, Spain brought to the world “this Spanish, liberal, chimerical, happy and generous way of seeing life.”
“They intend to change our country,” he warned. “We have someone who is trying to transform our country as he wants, with grievances, clashes, civil war, factions,” he added, referring to Pedro Sáchez. Ayuso concluded: “A lot of older people tell us, ‘I’ve been there before, I’ve had these feelings before, don’t fall into that trap.’
Ayuso also devoted a few words, as usual, to talking about the Basque Country and Catalonia where, as he said, “only the strongest wins, the most subsidized and supervised by a mafia administration that only massively buys feelings.” Ayuso’s partner, Alberto González Amador, operates within one of his government’s main contractors, the Quirón Group, with a false identity.
The president of Madrid also assured that “the misfortune that began in the Basque Country began when good people did not do their job and abandoned those who left their lives there.”
“We must defend the property, we must defend the business,” he harangued his guests, who paid 50 euros per person to attend the dinner, which took place on a farm in the municipality of Alcorcón that specializes in weddings and similar celebrations.
Feijóo accuses Zapatero of giving a “snitch”
Feijóo succeeded Ayuso, whom he wanted to “justify before our people and before everyone” because “they are not capable of subjugating her with the entire state apparatus”. “At a time when socialist women must be ashamed” of their party, he argued, the PP leader sang “the pride of Ayuso” for having “stood up to the sexists” and “those who lie”.
The leader of the PP attacked the assessment of the year that the President of the Government made this Monday. “You want to finish the course before the primary and secondary school children, you will be in a hurry,” he joked. Feijóo accused him of “protecting his slugs more than his women” due to cases of sexual harassment reported by women and perpetrated by one of the president’s former top advisers, Paco Salazar.
He also denied that the government had “protected workers”. “The ibex has never earned so much and there have never been so many poor people and never so much middle class and purchasing power have been lost,” he added. “They consider the workers like a box” and “they consider that they must be chewed”. “We have never paid more taxes and had more public debt,” assured Feijóo based on official data.
The leader of the PP assured that the Government “threatens” that they will be monitored. Feijóo believes that the Executive sends a message: “be careful what you do”.
Immediately afterwards, Feijóo accused former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero of having given a “tip” to “those under investigation so that they erase the evidence”.
“They hid Zapatero in a mine, desolate in a cave, and they brought him out to make a moral reference,” he said. “He left the country on the verge of bankruptcy and now everything seems to indicate that he is a specialist in business with Venezuela,” he added.
And he concluded: “We knew about his questionable dealings with Maduro, but we saw publications that he was giving tips to people under investigation so they could erase the evidence. Spain needs to know if a president gave advice to people who were going to be arrested. The logic is that he would have seemed to check whether it was true or not, and he didn’t.”
Feijóo mixed two pieces of information from this Monday. One, taken from “El debate”, about Zapatero’s meeting with a businessman linked to the airline Plus Ultra and who was subsequently arrested as part of a National Police investigation into money laundering. The second, from ‘El Confidencial’, claims that the same businessman “would have gotten rid of his cell phones, deleted compromising messages and emails and reduced his travels to a minimum due to the omen of imminent arrest.”
