THE President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, avoided saying whether or not he would hold a bilateral meeting with the President of the Government, Pedro SánchezAfter last week, he urged his party colleagues and regional presidents not to do so.
Ayuso insisted that “media attention” should not be focused on whether or not she will meet with Pedro Sánchez, but on why he has not called the meeting. Conference of Presidents.
In this sense, the leader of the Madrid Popular Party announced that the Government Council would report this Wednesday that the Supreme Court On July 30, he admitted to handling his appeal against the president.
Specifically, the Regional Executive filed (on July 24) an appeal before the Supreme Court against Pedro Sánchez for failure to comply with his legal obligations as president and for “negligence” three requirements which were made to convene the above-mentioned Conference.
“Today, at the Government Council, we are giving an account, that is to say, we are announcing an appeal that we have filed with the Supreme Court because of Sánchez’s failure to convene the Conference of Presidents,” he explained.
It should be recalled that the President of the Government must convene the Conference of Presidents at least twice a year, on his own initiative, at the request of the Preparatory Commission or of ten presidents of autonomous communities.
To date, a total of three requests have been made for this appeal, without response. The first, signed by twelve regional presidents and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, dated November 24, 2023; the second, for fourteen years, on April 24, 2024; and the third, by the president of the Community of Madrid July 19 of this year.
Bilateral meetings
Asked by journalists during his interview on EsRadio, Ayuso joked that everything he says “must be a national crisis.” Well, when on September 5 he showed himself against the bilateral meetings summoned by Sánchez, everyone accused her of “boycotting”.
Today, the president qualified her remarks and explained that she did not intend to impose her point of view on any party colleague. In addition, he assured that the heart of the matter was that, in his opinion, the meetings between the regional presidents and Sánchez could not be just a “And mine.”
“Everyone’s business is discussed among everyone,” he stressed.
However, she acknowledged that there are specific problems, such as fishing in Galicia, about which she has nothing to say and which she considers logical that they should be treated in a particular way.
According to him, the main problem is that once these bilateral meetings are over, when Sánchez convenes the Conference of Presidents, he will sell a “we already talked about it.” Or, what amounts to the same thing, that the “The Conference of Presidents will be meaningless if it divides us.”
With all this, Ayuso brought out his humor and assured that before saying whether or not he would meet with Sánchez, he wanted to see “that he invites me and summons me.” “I will not make a statement until I see what it takes,” he concluded.
