The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, attacked this Sunday the protesters who go “from placard to placard” to “get the pot” and obtain “a subsidy.”
“I don’t want that for the education of children in the Community of Madrid,” the head of the regional executive stressed during a rally in Móstoles, coinciding with a gathering of dozens of people in defense of public education, wearing green T-shirts and also yellow ones for early childhood schools. Among the attendees, signs with slogans such as “Zarzalejo negotiates. Bautista resignation” or “7291” could be seen, referring to the victims in care homes during the pandemic.
In this situation, Ayuso criticized having to “listen to lessons” from those who today put on a green T-shirt, then “take it off, put on a lab coat, and put it back on” and go “from placard to placard.”
“It is extremely painful because they are people who are at the head of bodies, who are in many institutions and I don’t want that for the education of children in the Community of Madrid,” she insisted, reproaching the attitude of these groups.
She also lashed out at those who look the other way when there is “a mask corruption scheme” and who remained “silent when people were dying all over Spain” during the pandemic, while censuring that they have not cared “to even know how many” have died. “They put ideology and sectarianism ahead of the common interest,” she concluded.
