The Supreme Court has accepted the appeal of the Madrid government against Pedro Sánchez’s refusal to convene the Conference of Presidents. This was announced on Wednesday by President Isabel Díaz Ayuso during her speech in an interview with Esradio.
The President insisted on the need to convene the Conference of Presidents. And he announced that this Wednesday, the Government Council will report that on July 24, the regional executive filed an appeal before the Supreme Court against the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, for failure to comply with its legal obligations and neglect of the three requests that were made in this regard. This appeal was admitted for processing on July 30.
“Today, in the Government Council, we are giving accounts, that is, we are announcing the appeal that we filed before the Supreme Court for Sánchez’s failure to comply with the appeal of the Conference of Presidents,” said Díaz Ayuso.
He then recalled that Sánchez “has not done it for more than two and a half years, I don’t know how many months he hasn’t been to the Senate. We have already asked him three times, to the different presidents of the Popular Party and the last time I did it in July from the Community of Madrid and it was not possible. So we had to take him to the Supreme Court and we are waiting to see what they tell us.
The Madrid president recalls that “the president of the government must convene the Conference of Presidents at least twice a year, on his own initiative, at the request of the Preparatory Commission or of ten presidents of autonomous communities.” But this has not been done, even though “to date, a total of three requests have been made for this call, to which no response has been given.”
The first was signed by twelve regional presidents and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla, on November 24, 2023; the second, for fourteen years, on April 24, 2024; and the third, by the president of the Community of Madrid herself, on July 19 of this year.
