Juan Lobato wanna continue to lead the PSOE of Madrid and represent the Madrid socialists in the Federal Congress next Saturday in Seville after the crisis that arose in the party following the news published by ‘ABC’ which indicates that he went to a notary to register alleged leaks on news linked to the tax fraud of the boyfriend by Isabel, Diaz Ayuso.
Barely 24 hours later, several senior officials of the PSOE in Madrid called for his departure. “We will ask you for explanations and responsibilities in a motion of confidence“, said Reyes Maroto, party spokesperson at Madrid City Hall. “I would have done things differently, I think there was a lack of loyalty,” Maroto added.
The government delegate to the Community of Madrid, Francisco Martín, considers that “stronger explanations are needed and that a Regional Executive Commission be created as soon as possible.”
However, both the government and the federal leadership of the PSOE avoided addressing the issue and focused on Ayuso and his partner. “We can’t really get away from what’s important about this issue, which is that the president of the Community of Madrid lied“, defended the vice-president of the government María Jesús Montero.
In the same spirit, Minister Félix Bolaños criticized the Madrid president and her partner: “Where there is nothing, there is nothing, and where there are crimes, they will be condemned“.
In fact, the organizing secretary of the PSOE, Santos Cerdán, sees no problem with Lobato running for the Federal Congress. “He is the general secretary of the PSOE-M and The logic is that he goes to Congress next Saturday,” he assured.
