New political ridicule for Ayuso: not even the rest of the PP follows her in her attempt to boycott Sánchez

Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of the Popular Party at the national level, has a problem with Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid. Something that is evident week after week.

Controversy after controversy from Isabel Díaz Ayuso. Whether it's Alberto González Amador, or the luxury penthouse bought by Planifica Madrid, a public company and, therefore, with public money from all Madrid residents. A penthouse for which, in short, there shouldn't have been much public need, because as soon as the newspaper 'El País' discovered the purchase and published its exclusive, they announced that they were going to sell it. Nothing added up in the explanation they were giving us from the Community of Madrid.

Controversy after controversy, week after week. And all of this is now starting to drag Alberto Núñez Feijóo, leader of his party, leader of the Popular Party at the national level, as well.

This Friday we have a new controversy from Isabel Díaz Ayuso. And that is that she has starred in a new political ridicule.

Ayuso intended to promote a boycott of Pedro Sánchez, a boycott of the Fiscal and Financial Policy Council, which met this Friday to address a new financing model. The Popular Party may disagree with that model, of course. It can oppose it, it can vote against it. It is a model that the Government of Pedro Sánchez agreed with Oriol Junqueras, with ERC, last December.

They can be against it. But Ayuso wanted to go further and was left alone.

The Madrid president directly decided not to send her Minister of Finance to that meeting. She did not send anyone to represent the Community of Madrid, trying to stand up to the Government in that Fiscal and Financial Policy Council.

Ayuso wanted to lead a boycott of Pedro Sánchez's Government. What happened? Well, all the autonomous communities attended. Also those governed by the Popular Party, also those governed by the PSOE. All except the Community of Madrid.

Ayuso was left alone in her boycott of Pedro Sánchez.

They did not support her. Not even the rest of the communities governed by her own party backed her. That is the reality.

Therefore, at a political level, Isabel Díaz Ayuso has once again made a fool of herself.

The Popular Party's own communities clearly maintain that not attending that meeting would not have produced any results or served any purpose. That is to say, even her own party colleagues invalidate Ayuso's strategy.

You can be against the model. You can defend a different one from the Government's. You can vote against it. But not attending meetings called by the Government of Spain is, simply, going against the institutional framework that should govern a democratic State.

You can vote against it, of course. It goes without saying. It is completely legitimate for the opposition to reject what the Government proposes if it does not convince them. They will have to justify it, argue it, and explain it to public opinion.

But what is this about standing up the Government in an institutional meeting?

In a democracy, one must be, above all, institutional.

Because, do you know which other political party systematically stands up the Government in the meetings it proposes? Yes: Vox. The far-right.

If Isabel Díaz Ayuso wants to be Vox, let her change political party. And if she doesn't want to be Vox and wants to continue being part of the Popular Party, then Alberto Núñez Feijóo has to assert his authority within the PP.

What cannot happen is for a community governed by the Popular Party, the Community of Madrid of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, to go completely rogue.

Standing up the Government and showing, in my view, an absolute lack of institutionalism. An institutionalism that must be demanded from all regional administrations as well as from the central Government and the General State Administration.

In a democracy, one must attend institutional meetings, no matter how much one disagrees with what is proposed in them. What cannot exist is an autonomous community that goes rogue and that does not even follow the guidelines of its own political party.

The rest of the communities governed by the PP attended that meeting. It is another matter that they later voted against or rejected the financing model proposed by the Government of Pedro Sánchez.

But one thing is to vote against and a very different one is to adopt the manners, the forms, and the lack of institutionalism that characterizes Vox.

Ayuso is Vox. It can be said clearly.

And it can also be said clearly that Feijóo does not completely control his political party. He does not control Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who goes rogue even questioning the actions of the rest of the autonomous communities governed by the Popular Party itself.

Ayuso is Vox. Feijóo has a problem with Ayuso.

Week after week, controversy after controversy from Isabel Díaz Ayuso that are already dragging, as is evident, palpable and notorious, Alberto Núñez Feijóo himself.

Enough is enough, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. You cannot aspire to be president of the Government if you first do not control your own political party.
