The president of the Regional Government, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has convened this special session to move forward with the legislation, which aims to include the unborn in the calculation of family social benefits. The decision follows a previous parliamentary procedural blockage, which was annulled after a letter from the PSOE pointed out procedural deficiencies.
The spokesperson for the Popular Party, Carlos Díaz-Pache, confirmed the formal registration of the request. The plenary will proceed under a single-reading procedure, a parliamentary mechanism that expedites law approval by bypassing ordinary committee stages for a single debate.
“"While the central government defends interests, the Madrid executive defends principles."
The regional executive champions the text as a political priority for supporting mothers and upholding conservative principles. The regional president has contrasted this approach with that of the Central Government, which she accuses of using the Congress for partisan interests, referring to the amnesty.
The opposition has expressed its disagreement. The spokesperson for Más Madrid, Manuela Bergerot, described the law as a technical "botch" due to initial poor drafting and alleged that the president governs through constant "propaganda." Meanwhile, the representative for VOX, Isabel Pérez Moñino, confirmed her group's participation, maintaining a critical stance and conditioning any social aid on the principle of national priority for public resources.
