The PSOE of Madrid has reproached the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for her lack of respect for the Spanish Constitution in the context of the strike of November 11, and has responded to her attacks on the unions by underlining that "mafia" is buying a penthouse "to live in it herself" with public money.
The PSOE-M secretary for Organization, Pilar Sánchez Acera, made these remarks to the media at the Building of Municipal Groups of the City Council, before holding a meeting with the socialist spokesperson in the Consistory, Reyes Maroto.
Sánchez Acera recalled the labels with which the regional president has addressed the unions that have called the general strike of this November 11, whom she has even called both "mafia" and "union trash."
"(She is) A person who has no respect for the Constitution, because the unions are within the Constitution; they have their rights. In addition, not only is that the case, but the right to strike is recognized and the right of workers to demonstrate is recognized in the Constitution, no matter how much that bothers her," the socialist leader said.
Next, she argued that what is really "mafia" is "having been giving thousands of millions to Quirón" while living with a partner "who was billing one million yes, one million too to Quirón and was inflating her bank account."
"Or maybe mafia too and trash is buying a penthouse through Planifica, a company of all the people of Madrid for more than 6 million euros so that she could go live there and now we’ve been left here with the penthouse hanging around," Sánchez Acera added, referring to the real-estate operation questioned by the socialists.
To wrap up her remarks, she pointed out that perhaps for Ayuso this "isn’t mafia enough" because she is "very used to a higher level mafioso system."
MAROTO ASSERTS HER HOUSING POLICY
On the other hand, the PSOE spokesperson on the Madrid City Council, Reyes Maroto, has defended the housing policy promoted by the socialists against that of the PP, which in her view is marked by "speculation and the big score, putting a carpet on the vulture funds."
In this sense, this Wednesday he has called on people to support the general strike with the aim of "guaranteeing the right to decent housing". "What I can't understand is the stance of the Partido Popular and of se Almeida, which yesterday issued almost a challenge to the unions, demanding that the right to work be guaranteed," he said.
Maroto believes that the 'populares' will end up "alone" if this Wednesday they choose not to "defend this constitutional right". "So I hope it will be a celebration of democracy, that we go out to defend the progress that has been achieved and, of course, that each citizen will freely choose what they want to do." he concluded.
