The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has vehemently criticized Navarra’s regional financing system in the past, defended this Thursday, during a PP event in Pamplona, that the regional regime is “a heritage” of the history of the Community of Madrid. community “like a kingdom”. “I already know the nationalists,” he added.
Ayuso thus qualified his position on Navarre, which in the past has earned him criticism from institutions such as the Government of Navarre or former partners of the PP such as the UPN. However, he assured that Navarre is a “profoundly Spanish land” that was “incorporated” into the Spanish monarchy in 1512, suggesting that it was in reality a conquest.
He also criticized those who “invent Navarre’s past” to “move away” the regional community towards “a Basque franchise”. For many years we have been living under blackmail, they want us to choose, either Navarrese or Spaniards, or Catalans or Spaniards, to create identities that separate and isolate us,” he stressed.
The president of the Community of Madrid took advantage of her intervention during the event, during which she was supported by its president, Javier García, and other party officials from Navarra, such as deputies Sergio Sayas and Carlos García Adanero, to praise Madrid’s model of “freedom” as a counterpoint to the “totalitarian drift” that, according to him, the government of the socialist María Chivite represents in the regional community.
He criticized the Navarrese president and general secretary of the socialists of the regional community for “handing over power” [EH] Bildu Pamplona”. “Is there a greater betrayal? Do you remember the “I will not agree with [EH] Bildu, I would not sleep with Podemos in government, is the amnesty a constitutional outrage or will I bring Puigdemont to justice?”, he joked.
