The campaign video of Juan Lobato (PSOE), candidate for the Presidency of Madrid: “They say that not even Perry knows me”
The PSOE candidate for the Presidency of the Community of Madrid and spokesman for the formation in the Assembly, Juan Lobato, has released a video on social networks to try to deny that it is not known. “They say that neither Perry knows me… That they don’t know me in my town, nor in my house… That they don’t put a face on me… What do you say?”, He has launched in a Twitter message in which he has included the advertisement.
In the video, residents of Soto del Real appear, the town of which he was mayor, listing things he did during his tenure or assessing his proximity: “Thanks to Juan Lobato we have the green ring in Soto del Real”, “Here the whole town has your WhatsApp” or “young people support you” are some of the messages from the inhabitants of the Madrid town.
His wife also appears in the ad, to deny that he is not known at home, and talks about different aspects of their life together. “They say that not even Perry knows me, that not even the tattoo knows me, that not even Blas knows me…”, says Lobato himself at the end of the video, his face blurred. “They also say that they don’t put a face on me”, he affirms at the moment when he makes the gesture of cleaning the camera and exposing it. “Well, I’m going to stand up for you and for all the people of Madrid,” he settles.
They say that Perry doesn’t even know me…?
They don’t know me in my town, or in my house…?
They don’t make me face… ?

Ayuso hopes that Alberto Reyero “will be charged” after his judicial declaration for the protocols of the residences in the pandemic
“I hope that the man who mentions me today is accused of his statements.” The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, refers to Alberto Reyero, who was her adviser for Social Policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reyero testifies as a witness this Thursday in an investigative court on the protocols that prevented the transfer of the elderly from residences to hospitals in the worst months of the health crisis. The former leader of Ciudadanos has always defended that these protocols were not moral and could possibly be illegal.
Upon arrival at the trial court number 9 in Madrid, Reyero has defended that the people who occupied the residences “were left to their fate” during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic because of the protocols. The former regional councilor has stressed that the referral protocols were “exclusionary” and by virtue of them “people were excluded based on their situation of dependency or disability.”

The PSOE, on Albiol: “When you have to go to an oral trial, the least you have to do is take a step back”
“When you adopt and choose to be a politician, it is a very serious thing in which honesty and exemplary behavior are required of you above all, and when you have to go to an oral trial, the least you would have to do is take a step back.” This is how the spokesperson for the PSOE, Pilar Alegría, has referred to the non-exit of the PP candidate for the Mayor of Badalona, Xavier García Albiol, from the party and the candidacy, despite the fact that the judge has ordered the opening of an oral trial against him for three crimes that the CGPJ considers “corruption”. “If you don’t do it, your party should open a file for you, at least, because that is exercising politics with an example,” she said in an interview on the Antena 3 Espejo Público program.
Alegría has compared the resignation this Wednesday of the former director of the Civil Guard, María Gámez, which she has described as “an exercise in absolute democratic honesty and absolute responsibility”, with what is seen in the PP, which is “radically different ”.
The PP refuses to separate Albiol as established in its statutes and alleges that prevarication is not corruption

Bolaños assures that the resignation of the director of the Civil Guard distinguishes “the ethical standard” of the Government and the right: “In the PP you live with corruption and crimes”
The Minister of the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, has assured that the departure of María Gámez from her position as general director of the Civil Guard shows the difference between the “ethical standard” of the coalition government and the right. “Here, as in the motion of censure, the two models can be contrasted: a very high ethical standard and then the one applied by the PP, where corruption and crimes coexist”, he pointed out in an interview on the La Hora program , from TVE.
Bolaños has repeated that Gámez’s departure “was a personal decision of hers”: “She decided to step aside,” she stated, while denouncing that on the right there are “defendants” and “even petitions for sentences of up to 15 years and there they continue in the PP with all normality”, he expressed in reference to the former Minister of the Interior in the time of Mariano Rajoy, Jorge Fernández Díaz.
The Government opposes the departure of the director of the Civil Guard to the inaction of the PP against corruption

Gamarra assures that the PP keeps Albiol as a candidate because he is going to win the elections
The general secretary of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, has defended this Thursday the continuity of Xavier García Albiol as a candidate in Badalona despite the fact that he has been prosecuted for three crimes of prevarication in his previous time as mayor. The leadership of Alberto Núñez Feijóo has chosen not to suspend the leader from militancy, who is also part of the national campaign team for 28M, in contrast to what the statutes indicate for the opening of an oral trial in cases related to corruption.
Gamarra has assured that it is an “open procedure in Catalonia that has to do with his administrative activity at the head of the City Council” and that “it has nothing to do with corruption.” But the CGPJ establishes as “corruption” the cases related to prevarication. In addition, Gamarra has assured that he is a “candidate who is in a position to win the elections and to opt for an absolute majority.”

the topics of the day
Good morning! A day begins marked still by the hangover of Vox’s failed motion of no confidence in the coalition government. We leave you here some issues from our cover this Thursday:
-The employers resist raising wages while corporate profits do not stop growing: the employers delay a key negotiation and whose “urgency” the unions reiterate in the face of the loss of purchasing power of the workers.
-Sánchez will meet with Xi in Beijing after China’s proposal for peace for Ukraine: the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, is going to visit Beijing next week after being invited by China’s Xi Jinping to a state visit . The information has been advanced by El País and has been subsequently confirmed by the Minister of the Presidency. The visit will take place on March 30 and 31.
-CHRONICLE | The result of the motion projects the image of a PP already twinned with Vox before the elections, by Esther Palomera: Moncloa comes out of censorship better than expected, satisfied by Feijóo’s equidistance with those of Abascal and convinced that it will help to mobilize the left to the cry of Sánchez that “they want to go back 50 years in one case and 10 years in another to stop progress and social policies.”
-EXCLUSIVE | The progressive member Concepción Sáez resigns due to the “unsustainable” situation of the Judiciary: Concepción Sáez, acting member of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), elected at the proposal of the IU, presented her “resignation” as a member on March 13 of the governing body of judges. The spokeswoman considers her continuity “useless” in what she considers a scenario of “radical and perhaps already irreversible degradation of the institution.”
-The PP refuses to separate Albiol as established in its statutes and alleges that prevarication is not corruption: the judge orders the opening of an oral trial against the PP candidate in Badalona, and part of the 28M national campaign team, for three crimes that the CGPJ considers “corruption”, but from the party they defend that it is not and leave the responsibility to the party in Catalonia.
