Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who has remained silent since the beginning of the dana, had an idea this Tuesday: that the government promote an urgent decree with aid measures for those affected. And he found this idea so good that he published it on his social networks at ten minutes past five in the afternoon, exactly five hours after the Council of Ministers had already approved it and Pedro Sánchez was came to explain it during an appearance. at Moncloa.
“Valencia is going through its worst times and the government that loves royal decrees must now issue one urgently to help the region,” Ayuso asked on social media. At ten past twelve, the president appeared before the press after the Council of Ministers to give details of the royal decree which provides for aid of 10.6 billion euros to the people concerned.
The request from the Madrid presidency arrived not only five hours after the government had already formulated it, but almost 24 hours after his party, the PP, learned of much of the content of this decree from the minister of Justice and is committed to supporting its validation in Congress, for which the Executive has a maximum period of 30 days.
In this message on the networks, Ayuso adds a false accusation: “Blackmail by mixing budgets with aid is wicked,” says the Madrid president, alluding to a response from Pedro Sánchez to questions from the press during his appearance in which he underlined the importance of being able to approve the general state budgets in this context but in which the aid announced was not conditional on the possibility of approving these accounts.
Literally, when asked whether budgets will be needed to support the $1 million in aid to Valencia, Sánchez responded: “We will need new general state budgets. If there were a reason to approve them before this dana, this responsibility would be multiplied to colossal limits. We are going to propose to the parliamentary groups a new budgetary framework to face the realities of each of the territories, in particular of the communities, notably the Valencian Community, which are affected by this climate tragedy. I hope we have the majority support of the House to approve budgets today that are even more needed than yesterday,” he said.
After the announcement by the President of the Government of aid of one million dollars to Valencia for those affected by the dana, the PP hastened to distort the words of Pedro Sánchez and to repeat that he linked the set of measures for the approval of the accounts, something that they repeated from rue Génova and even from the Generalitat Valenciana in the mouth of the president, Carlos Mazón.
