The Government asks "institutional loyalty" to Ayuso after the event with Milei and hopes that Feijóo "separate from him"

The Government has criticized the speech given by the ultra-Argentine president, Javier Milei, this Friday in Madrid and has asked Isabel Díaz Ayuso for “respect” and “institutional loyalty” after the act in which they both participated, which ended up being an event against the Executive of Pedro Sánchez. The first vice president, María Jesús Montero, indicated this Saturday that she hopes Feijóo “modulates, rectifies or definitively separates from him.”

During the swearing-in of Imanol Pradales as Lehendakari, María Jesús Montero has “absolutely” condemned Milei’s allegation during the Juan de Mariana dinner and the alleged ‘institutional act’ he had with Ayuso. In it, the Argentine defended his “chainsaw policy”, known for the application of a series of unprecedented cuts in the country’s public systems, statements that produce “modesty” and “shame” in the vice president. “It has been a long time since he heard such destructive words in our country,” he added, in statements to the media.

“Ask for respect, institutional loyalty, compliance with the law from the president of Madrid, who is responsible for the fact that yesterday we attended this speech that you have seen and that evidently breaks the bases of our Constitution and the bases of our democracy,” he criticized. Meanwhile, she has indicated that what she expects from the leader of the national PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, is that he “modulate, rectify or definitively separate himself” from those words.

For the second time this year, the ultra president has gone to the capital so that the right and extreme right can honor him with two different awards: an honorary medal awarded by Ayuso and another award from the ultraliberal think tank Juan de Mariana, which has been accompanied by a huge painting of the president.

Also this Friday, the Government spokesperson and Minister of Education, Pilar Alegría, accused Ayuso of lacking “loyalty” and “patriotism” for receiving Milei and awarding her a “fake” medal. “It is very clear to see what their concept of institutionality, loyalty and patriotism is, by rushing to impose a fake medal on someone who insults Spain and its institutions, they are clearly jumping over any barrier of loyalty and institutionality,” he said. in statements to Antea 3 collected by Europa Press.

The anger of the Sánchez Executive occurs a month after the Argentine president came to Madrid to participate in a Vox event against the “criminal left”, in which he ended up calling the wife of the president of the Spanish Government “corrupt”. , which caused a diplomatic crisis between both countries.

Ayuso responds to the Government

At the same time, the president of the Community of Madrid has responded to the Government’s criticism and has come out in defense of Milei and her policies. “The socialists are the ones who decide who deserves a medal. Yes, they can do everything. But those of us who have not provoked international conflicts with sister nations have to stay put. Well no. Not in Madrid,” she said this Saturday morning.

Ayuso has assured that “the PP of Madrid has always had Argentina in its speeches” and added that they have “no reason to enter the game of political disputes between ministers who do not know how to keep their fingers still. Let them get to work. “Why not recognize a country that visits us.”

Regarding the reason for granting him the recognition, Ayuso highlighted that the ultra president “has taken charge of a nation that has half of its population plunged into poverty” and added: “We do not want that path. “You get out of socialism.” Although he has said that “on many things” they do not “agree” with Argentina, there are certain aspects in which he sees “the policies represented in those of the PP.”

Therefore, in the opinion of the Madrid leader, the ultra president deserved the distinction. “Its normal. I have not seen Milei insult Spain or the king, I have seen it with the PSOE. If there are Catalan embassies that all Spaniards pay for, why can’t we maintain ties of brotherhood with nations to which we have been linked for several centuries”, she concluded.
