The Frente Amplio candidate for the elections of 29N, Ada Colau, has said that the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, is dedicated to "insulting" trade union organizations because she is "nervous" in the face of the broad mobilization that the trade union strike called for this Wednesday is provoking.
In an interview on "TVE", reported by Europa Press, Colau has expressed satisfaction with the "very broad" follow-through on the work stoppage, which she believes is being a "success" and, in the case of Catalonia, would be placing participation at around 80%.
She has emphasized that this strike day has been called due to a "very broad" social dissatisfaction about the housing problem and the increase in inequality, despite the measures promoted by the central Government, such as the increase in the minimum wage.
Colau has argued that the general strike must become a "turning point" and has criticized that the right "doesn't like" that citizens "rule in democracy." From that perspective, she considers it understandable that "Ayuso is being impertinent and goes out to insult" after she spoke of "trade union garbage" to refer to the call.
"I suppose she does it to divert attention and let's not remember how she rolls out the red carpet in Madrid for vulture funds at the same time as she buys a super-luxury penthouse of more than 6 million euros with public money," the candidate has reproached.
In her view, the issue of housing has become "a cry in the street" and, if the right continues to give it the "back," "the only thing it will do is pull away from the citizens."
