The battle continues on the left following the accusations against Íñigo Errejón. The regional deputy of Más Madrid Loreto Arenillas, former director of Errejón’s cabinet accused of having dissuaded the politician’s alleged victims from running, clarified this Wednesday that refuses to leave his seat or be a non-registered deputy in the Regional Assembly. She filed a complaint with the Guarantees Committee of the left party, a few days after being dismissed from all her positions.
On his social networks, Arenillas published a brief message this Wednesday: “I would like to clarify that I will not move to the Mixed Group. Furthermore, I thank the Guarantees Commission Más Madrid for accepting my complaint for processing. The parliamentarian, until now spokesperson for the party’s feminism, was to leave her seat or become non-attached (i.e. a member of the Joint Group), but she had not yet submitted her report. Now it is clear that will fuel the war with the training of Mónica García and who will fight to keep their seat.
Arenillas says he feels “harassed” by those who were her colleagueswho expelled her from the party because she allegedly covered Íñigo Errejón. More Madrid fired her from all her organic positions on Friday, after the scandal broke, and demanded her minutes. She claims to feel like a “scapegoat”.
If this loss occurred, Más Madrid would lose a seat, causing a tectonic shift in the opposition to Isabel Díaz Ayuso: beyond the loss of funds from Más Madridthe PSOE would become the second force in the House behind the PP, and therefore at the head of the opposition, since in the last regional elections Más Madrid and PSOE obtained the same number of seats, 27 each, the first advancing with a margin of voice. by only 0.18%. If Arenillas leaves the parliamentary group, Lobato would replace Bergerot at the head of the oppositionwhich would remain at 26).
In his statement, Arenillas denounced the fact that The Executive does not even have the capacity to revoke it in the party organization chart nor to demand that she resign her status as deputy, which only the aforementioned Guarantees Committee can demand.
Sources from Más Madrid explained to EP that the admission to processing of the complaint This is “normal in any procedure” and it is “part of the normality which guarantees this right”.
