The Supreme rejects Vox’s attempt to remove Yolanda Díaz from the CNI commission

The Supreme Court has rejected the appeal that Santiago Abascal and the rest of the Vox deputies filed against the legal reform that in 2021 facilitated the entry of Vice President Yolanda Díaz into the CNI delegate commission after the departure of Pablo Iglesias from the Government. As on half a dozen previous occasions, the Supreme Court reminds the parliamentarians of the ultra formation that they do not have the legitimacy to appeal anything for the simple fact of representing a political party.

Vox has already appealed the regulations that gave Pablo Iglesias entry into that commission when he was vice president of the Government, and his allegations did prosper in the Constitutional Court. The magistrates annulled that reform, understanding that there was no “urgency and necessity” that the executive justified to process it as a decree-law.

Almeida criticizes that “the same left that wanted to put traffic lights on the M30” is the one that “now demonstrates in Madrid Río”

The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has reiterated this Tuesday his criticism of Más Madrid and PSOE for opposing the massive felling of trees in Madrid Río and supporting the demonstrations against the operation, which on Monday the Community of Madrid decided to paralyze , at least temporarily.

As the mayor said in the Telemadrid program ‘Good morning Madrid’, it is clear that “trees also have an ideology”, because “it is curious that the same left that wanted traffic lights to have been installed on the M30, is the one that now it is manifesting in Madrid Río for a felling of trees that is authorized by law ”.

The mayor, who has not alluded to Ayuso’s decision, recalled that “the Government of the Nation has asked to cut down more than 300 trees in some works at the Aluche and Atocha station and no one has spoken.” And it is “the same left that would have wanted an M30 with traffic lights.” Almeida boasted that after his years in office, “if Madrid is precisely characterized by something, it is because we are a city of trees for the third consecutive year, as the UN has recognized.”

Sémper, on the PP and Vox pacts: “We are going to continue expanding our space without governing with other formations”

The PP campaign spokesman, Borja Sémper, has stated that they are going to continue “widening” the party’s political space “without governing with other formations.” He has said it in an interview on the Herrera en Cope program, responding to the question of whether they are preparing the necessary speech in case they have to govern with Vox.

Sémper stressed in the talk that “it is possible to govern alone”. Thus, he has cited as an example the absolute majorities harvested by the current president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, in Galicia, or that of Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla in Andalusia. “It is possible and we should not lose that ambition”, he expressed, adding: “It will be difficult, but it is not impossible”.

the topics of the day

Good morning! A day begins that will revolve around the face-to-face in the Senate between Pedro Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo and in which Madrid doctors and primary care pediatricians are on strike for three months. We leave you here other topics that the cover of this Tuesday of elDiario.es brings:

-Izquierda Unida and Podemos agree in more communities than ever while waiting for Sumar: Podemos and IU have reached agreements in most of the communities where there were options for 28M. Now, in the absence of seeing what happens in others such as the Valencian Community or Castilla La-Mancha, the two parties are committed to setting aside their differences in the face of the first major examination at the polls of the coalition government.

-EXCLUSIVE | The European Parliament mixes pro-Palestinian deputies with neo-Nazis in a list to “reinforce surveillance” on Holocaust Day: the European Parliament’s Information Security and Analysis Unit drew up a list of left-wing and far-right MEPs before the celebration of Holocaust Day Holocaust Remembrance. The European Parliament justifies the “preventive measures” of the security services to “avoid any damage to the facilities and their material assets.”

-One year of the commission of Ayuso’s brother: without legal consequences pending the European Prosecutor’s Office: the contract by the Government of Madrid for 1.5 million euros in masks, for which Tomás Díaz Ayuso received a commission, He opened an unprecedented war a year ago in the PP that triggered an operation against Pablo Casado.

-Junts dodges the incrimination against Laura Borràs so as not to reopen the internal war: Junts asks that the presumption of innocence of Laura Borràs be respected, which they present as a victim of “political persecution”. With this, the party seeks not to reopen the internal war that already shook the party in July due to the corruption case that affects its leader.

-Teleworking saves an hour a day in transfers, but we dedicate a large part of it to working more: the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) has prepared a study in which it has calculated the time saved thanks to teleworking, by not having to move to the office. According to data from 27 countries, including Spain, people earn an average of 63 minutes per day, but a significant part of them, more than a third, dedicate it to working more.
