The Organization Secretary of the PSOE of Madrid, Pilar Sánchez Acera, has reproached the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, that, in her opinion, she does not respect the Spanish Constitution after her criticisms of the unions due to the general strike called for this November 11.
Sánchez Acera made these statements to the media in the Municipal Groups Building of the Madrid City Council, before holding a meeting with the socialist spokeswoman in the Consistory, Reyes Maroto, and responded to the disqualifications of the regional president, who has called the striking unions "mafia" and "union garbage."
The PSOE-M's criticisms of Ayuso's words
"(She is) a person who has no respect for the Constitution, because unions are within the Constitution, they have their rights. Furthermore, it is not only that, but the right to strike is recognized and the right to demonstration of workers is recognized in the Constitution, much to her chagrin," said Pilar Sánchez Acera.
The socialist leader also maintained that what is "mafia" is "having given billions to Quirón" while living with a partner "who was invoicing a million yes, a million also to Quirón and was fattening his bank account."
"Or perhaps mafia also and garbage is buying a penthouse through Planifica, a company of all Madrilenians for more than 6 million euros for her to go live in and now we have been left with the penthouse hanging here," she added, before suggesting that, for Ayuso, perhaps that "is not mafia enough" because she is "very accustomed to a superior mafia system."
Reyes Maroto vindicates socialist housing policy
For her part, the spokeswoman for the PSOE in the Madrid City Council, Reyes Maroto, has defended the housing policy of the socialists against that of the Popular Party, which she has described as marked by "speculation and the big deal, laying a carpet for vulture funds."
Maroto has urged participation in this Wednesday's general strike to be able to "guarantee the right to decent housing" and has questioned the position of the Popular Party and the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, whom she reproached for having conveyed "almost a challenge to the unions yesterday, demanding that the right to work be guaranteed."
The socialist spokeswoman considered that the popular party members will be "alone" if this Wednesday they decide not to "defend this constitutional right," and concluded: "So I hope it will be a celebration of democracy, that we go out to defend the advances achieved and, of course, that each citizen will freely choose what they want to do."
