The PP criticizes that the PSOE now has the "thinner skin" due to Ayuso's words after months of "insults" to Feijóo

Maroto will not value his statements and boasts of unity in the PP against the barons of the PSOE who avoid the photo with Sánchez

MADRID, 8 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The spokesman for the Popular Group in the Senate, Javier Maroto, criticized this Tuesday that the PSOE is now "tearing its clothes" and having the "finest skin" after the words against Pedro Sánchez by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, when, as he stressed, the head of the Executive and the Socialist Party have spent months "insulting day in and day out" the PP and the opposition leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.

In a press conference in the Upper House, after the meeting of the Board of Spokespersons, Maroto has avoided entering to assess - he has received up to four questions on this issue - the statements of Ayuso, who this Monday accused Sánchez of being an "authoritarian" president whose objective is to have "the opposition in jail, as in Nicaragua." The PSOE has asked the PP to disavow and force the Madrid president to rectify.

Despite not commenting on the timeliness of Ayuso's words, Maroto has criticized the fact that the PSOE is now "tearing its clothes" and asking the PP for "all kinds of explanations" when it is a party that "is not there to give lessons in prudence, moderation or respect for institutions".

In this sense, the leader of the PP has stressed that Pedro Sánchez and the Socialist Party that he chairs are "experts in doing the opposite of prudence, moderation and respect for institutions."

"It is ridiculous that confrontations are sought within the PP because the one who has been precisely unauthorized within a party has been Sánchez by his own 'barons', which is not that they disagree with him and do the opposite of his policies, it is that they already they have reached a point where they don't even want to take a picture with him", he has proclaimed, to insist that the Government and the PSOE cannot give the PP lessons in "prudence, moderation or respect for the institutions".

When asked if he believes that these words by Ayuso disrupt Feijóo's moderation strategy, who this Monday claimed "useful politics" from Argentina and said that "tensioning and twitching never work", Maroto has once again put the focus in the performance of the PSOE, assuring that it is "quite unfortunate that the same party that has spent the last few months insulting, day in and day out, now turns out to be the party that has the thinnest skin".

Asked again later if he believes that Ayuso is dislodging Feijóo's strategy, after the discomfort that some officials and 'barons' of the PP have shown in private, Maroto has indicated that the PSOE is insisting on "trying to place that reflection as if it were a reality".

"I understand that the PSOE wants to divert everyone's attention and that it also wants to do it because of the internal problems it has and that it is frustrated by the polls it has and the results that those polls present, but the PP is not going to enter into that strategy" , has emphasized.

The spokesman for the Popular Group in the Senate has boasted of the unity within his party and has stressed that it is reasonable for the national leadership led by Feijóo to contact its regional leaders, who are "authorized, recognizable and recognized voices in the party ".

"What is atypical and rare is what happens in the PSOE, that when Sánchez is in a place, all the barons run away and invent agendas so as not to form a forum with him," he said, to notify the PSOE that he is going to " fail" in this "attempt to create a hoax in relation to the internal unity of the PP".

At this point, Maroto has stressed that the left "is giving a show of disunity at this time" that "contrasts with the internal unity of the Popular Party." "The PP is united around the creation of an alternative that has to reach Spain like rain in May called Feijóo, which has majority support," he asserted.

Given the fact that Ayuso's words occurred coinciding with the emergency doctors' strike in Madrid and if he believes that these problems in the emergency room are "left-wing activism", Maroto has indicated that if that situation were to occur in Galicia or Murcia "The question would not exist" and has refused to assess a matter of regional policy when the Madrid Government has a "solid" team of professionals. "I refer to what the CAM Government is saying. They do not need the support of this humble spokesperson", he concluded.
