The Assembly of Madrid began its parliamentary year this Thursday with a minute of silence in memory of those who died in the railway accident in Adamuz (Córdoba) that occurred in January, which was followed by another tribute to former deputy Modesto Nolla and the swearing-in of three new deputiesDuring one of her speeches at the Madrid Assembly, the president Isabel Díaz Ayuso, directly attacked the new measure promoted by Pedro Sánchez to prohibit access to social networks for minors under 16 years of age
"The technocommunist that we have in Moncloa has decided to go against all platforms, against the freedom of the world trying, yes, to leave Spain in the dirt, using judges, prosecutors or plumbers. Of course, in the father-in-law's saunas he allowed all kinds of minors whom he now says he wants to defend on social networks, trying in every way to cover up the work that you have done with the Chavista dictatorship".
These statements once again mark an internal clash between the national and regional organization of the People's Party. As we informed you yesterday in 'El Constitucional', yesterday the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez‑Almeida, publicly criticized Pedro Sánchez's measure on the prohibition of access for minors under 16 to social networks, stating that "parents educate their children better than Pedro Sánchez as president of the Government" and that "what the Government cannot pretend is to substitute the will of the parents."
Both Almeida's statements and those of Isabel Díaz Ayuso show the internal discord within the Popular Party regarding the measure to prohibit access for minors under 16 to social networks, since Feijóo agrees with Sánchez on the need for this restriction and assured that the Popular Party already "advanced in November a Protection Plan for Minors in the Digital Environment with more controls and the involvement of technology companies.”
