“Alpha male”, “populist leader”, “head of a corrupt conspiracy”… The image of the mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez Almeida, infuriated opposition councilors this Tuesday against Pedro Sánchez for his decision to continue leading the government. Not surprised. From MAS Madrid and PSOE. Both anti-municipal groups have been watching for some time how councilors and former PP spokespersons take advantage of the slightest opportunity to raise the decibels in their interventions. Almeida has held a kind of competition with Isabel Díaz Ayuso to see who of the two hits the president of the government and leader of the PSOE, Pedro Sánchez, the hardest.
The mayor of Madrid returned for the 22nd day of his 15-day honeymoon vacation. Two days later, Sánchez published an unexpected letter to the public announcing that he was suspending his program after learning that a judge had opened a case of alleged corruption against his wife, Begoña Gómez. Taking five days to “reflect”. The President complained about the “toxic” environment that has taken over political debate and wondered whether amid all the “mud”, “lies” and “slander” spread by “the right wing and the extreme right” It is advisable to continue this.
