PP deputy Susana Pérez Quislant protested last week during a meeting of the Madrid Assembly Council against opposition criticism of Ana Millán, number 3 of the regional PP and vice-president of the Madrid Chamber, under investigation for corruption. “Measures must be taken so that these types of accusations do not continue,” he said during the process of requests and questions, as recorded in the minutes of the meeting, reported by El País .
Quislant, third secretary of the Council, criticized “the comments made from the platform about the first vice-president without any respect for the presumption of innocence”, in reference to the opposition’s allusions to the investigation into Millán, accused of corruption and three other crimes in exchange for contracts when she was a youth counselor in Arroyomolinos. “The members of the Council, unlike the rest of the deputies, cannot express themselves to defend themselves against unfounded accusations,” he indicated.

The second went to Pablo Padilla, of Más Madrid, for having made the gesture “inappropriate to parliamentary decorum” of firing a gun imitating Israeli snipers in Gaza, according to his version.
The opposition’s criticism of Millán extends to Isabel Díaz Ayuso for including her on the electoral lists in 2023, when she had already been indicted for a year, and for subsequently appointing her vice-president.
