During the Dos de Mayo commemorations at the Real Casa de Correos, the president of the Popular Party expressed his dissatisfaction with the central government's attitude towards Madrid. He emphasized the need for effective cooperation between administrations to address the challenges faced by Madrid's citizens.
“"The region does not need stumbling blocks, but rather accompaniment."
The popular leader connected the spirit of the 1808 uprising with Madrid's contemporary values, highlighting freedom, independence, and sovereignty. He underscored the region's "vitality and courage" as attractive factors for those seeking to live and work there.
According to the leader of the Popular Party, political leaders must foster this dynamism, not hinder it. Therefore, he urged the Government of Spain to work jointly with the Community of Madrid on fundamental issues. Among these, he mentioned the healthcare strike affecting public services for months and the need to advance in the coordination of infrastructure and public transport.
Migration management was also a central point of his speech. He stressed the importance of ensuring orderly flows and argued that "people come to Spain to contribute, to work, and to make a difference." He recalled that regional presidents act as representatives of the State in their respective territories, implying that healthcare, transport, security, and migration must be managed in a coordinated manner among the different administrations.
The popular leader reiterated that coordination is essential to resolve these problems. He concluded by congratulating citizens on Madrid Community Day and noting that Madrid residents are aware of the current political situation.
