The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, denounced this Wednesday the “deeply anti-democratic overtones” that, in her opinion, the migrant regularization plan has and the “massive” naturalization linked to the Democratic Memory Law, warning that it could modify the distribution of “up to ten seats” in the region.
At the press conference after the Governing Council, held extraordinarily in Tres Cantos, the Madrid leader explained that it is an issue that “greatly concerns” her because the central Executive continues to promote a “massive regularization, with great haste and without any rigor”, which, she said, is going to “burst public services and alter the electoral roll”.
Díaz Ayuso has indicated that, with these decisions, there will be “more than 850,000 people” who will be able to access regularization “by criteria of rootedness and other subjective criteria,” to which “2.3 million people” will be added through the Democratic Memory Law.
“We estimate that more than 500,000 people would directly come to the censuses of the Community of Madrid, by choice or by omission, because the Ministry led by (Félix) Bolaños has established it that way, through a series of tools for which we are asking for explanations and information,” the regional president has demanded.
He detailed that, if these figures are confirmed, the Madrid electoral rolls would “be inflated by 10%” and there would be “the alteration of the distribution of up to 10 seats in the regional elections. Imagine the result multiplied throughout Spain”.
According to Ayuso, “what is clear is that in the next general elections in the Community of Madrid the last seat would even be decided by the CERA vote. Calculate,” she pointed out, also accusing the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of wanting the cost of these policies to be assumed by those who are not “of his political sign and his party.”
In his understanding, Sánchez's Executive intends to “blow up public services in Spain and very especially healthcare”, while he has remarked that in the country there are lacking “fundamental infrastructures” and “there are no trains”.
Ayuso added that “to this is added the verification of digital IDs in elections as has already happened in Castilla y León. IDs have been used without verification, there were no verification systems at the polling stations when it is a simple system,” she criticized, questioning “what need there was to do this” and with “so much haste.”
