The censorship proposal approved on Wednesday in El Boalo-Cerceda-Mataelpino that allowed the appointment of socialist Soledad Avila as the new mayor to replace Sergio Sánchez Junquera (PP), with the votes of the left and an unattached councilor who … Fox left in 2024, and was the protagonist of the plenary session of the Madrid Assembly. President Isabel Díaz Ayuso, the presidential advisor and regional spokesman all rebuked Vox over the censure motion and its closeness to the PSOE, although Abascal confirmed that the unattached advisor was no longer part of its ranks.
“Every day it becomes more socialist,” launched the Minister of the Presidency, Justice and Local Administration, Miguel Angel García Martín, against the Vox party for the proposal to censure El Boalo-Cerceda-Mataelpino.
At the observation session of the Assembly’s General Assembly, the Chancellor noted that since Wednesday, the PSOE mayor has been ruling in El Boallo thanks to a no-confidence motion supported by an “elected counselor” from the Vox party, who has left the party. A criticism also made by Regional President Isabel Díaz Ayuso shortly before. The regional president denounced that “this is the goal of the Vox Party” in order to “overthrow” the Popular Party government in this city.
The presidential adviser and regional spokesman urged Vox to stay “with the left and the far left” and admitted that he saw in his rhetoric similarities with the socialist politicians of the 1980s or with the “communist” Carlos Sánchez Matto, who ran for a position in the capital’s city council with Madrid en Pie, a name he compared to the Vox campaign that was christened “Vox Madrid Sur en Pie.”
The Vox party categorically denied that the motion to censure El Boallo would have their support. In a statement, this party has already explained that “The VOX Municipal Group wants to inform the residents of El Boalo, Cerceda and Mataelpino that the censure motion registered today was promoted with the support of non-attached council member José Olmos, who has been no longer part of VOX since June 2024 and does not represent the values or decisions of this party.”
“From VOX, we deeply regret that one of the councilors elected on our party lists decided to betray and join the Socialist Workers Party and Podemos, to try to change the institutional stability of the municipality and break the government project that has so far worked seriously and responsibly in the service of the neighbors,” the statement read.
