Villarroya responds to Ayuso's latest statements in 'Malas Lenguas': "Where are the communist policies?"

The statements by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in which she asserted that Spain is experiencing a "movement of destruction of the Rule of Law" driven by communism, focused part of the debate on Malas Lenguas. Jesús Cintora brought the issue to his collaborators, Hugo Pereira, director of 'ElConstitucional.es', and José Miguel Villarroya, who engaged in an eloquent exchange of opinions on the presence of communism in Spanish politics.

The first to speak was Hugo Pereira, who denied that communist measures exist in Spain. "In Spain, obviously, there is no communism, there are no communist measures," he stated. However, he recalled that there are people who define themselves as communists and gave his fellow panelist as an example: "In Spain, as in the rest of the countries, there are communists, among them Villarroya." Pereira took the opportunity to criticize past communist regimes, assuring that in countries like the former Soviet Union "atrocities and barbarities were committed" and that this ideology did not achieve the social progress it promised.

José Miguel Villarroya responded by differentiating between those who defend that ideology and those who govern. "I imagine that Ms. Ayuso was referring to the communists who govern, not to the communists who do not govern. I have no management role in any government," he replied. From there, he posed a direct question about the discourse of the Madrid president: "I don't know where the communist policies are."

To reinforce his argument, the collaborator referred to the housing problem and drew a comparison with the former Soviet Union. "Perhaps you should know that in the Soviet Union everyone had an apartment, which is not the case in Spain," he asserted, using that example to question Pereira's criticisms and Ayuso's accusations.

The confrontation escalated when Villarroya accused his colleague of repeating "anti-communist propaganda" without deep knowledge of the subject. "I say this so you can inform yourself a bit... because coming on television to spout a few charlatanries and a few foolish things from anti-communist propaganda...," he stated. In the final stretch of the debate, he also downplayed the PP's discourse on democracy and maintained that "in bourgeois elections, the same people always win, who are the masters of the estate."

After that exchange of reproaches, Cintora redirected the debate towards recent statements about absenteeism, asking both collaborators about the discourse that questions the effort of workers. Pereira responded that there are both employers and employees who violate legislation, refusing to generalize about one group or the other.
