For years, clashes between the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, have been continuous. The last one took place this week, marked by the “mafia” or “Stalinists” of the popular while Sánchez demands his resignation.
But this quarrel comes from afar. It all started almost five years ago. A meeting that both had in the middle of a pandemic marked the birth of a growing political confrontation.
Then, in March 2020, President Ayuso opposed any measures taken by Sánchez to stop Covid-19. From the start, she wanted to show herself as the Sánchez’s authentic oppositionhe even sometimes called him “my opponent Sánchez”.
Moreover, after a year of pandemic and his “no to everything”, Ayuso started to insult him, to call him tyrant and talk of “dictatorship”; and even have Sánchez lead us into a war.
The president, for his part, did not play that game. “Did you hear me say these epithets?”, he defended himself in an interview on Cadena SER.
Even though the truth is that now uses Ayuso’s name to ignore PP leaderAlberto Núñez Feijóo.. “You don’t do anything because the boss doesn’t allow you,” Sánchez said just a few weeks ago.
Ayuso was strengthened when Casado was hit by the PP for criticizing the president’s brother for taking advantage of Madrid with the masks, and this issue was Sánchez’s ammunition against her. Sánchez used the ball from Ayuso’s brother to counterattack which the PP signaled to him Tito Berni affair.
In one of these fights, we could all read the insult addressed to the president on Ayuso’s lips, even though she transformed the insult into a “I like fruit” transformed into a slogan against the president.
Ayuso stood out by showing herself to be the president’s great antagonist. That Milei accuses Sánchez because she gives him a medal to Milei; and so on with almost everything. Now Ayuso has while waiting for a next meeting with Sánchezit would be the third time they had seen each other alone in 4 years, but the president still He did not specify whether he would resign in the middle of a climate of tension which does not seem to be easing.
