Ayuso comes to Feijóo's defense to denounce the Attorney General: "It's enough to whitewash Sánchez's dictatorial state."

Arganda del ReyWhile the main authorities of the State were gathered at the Supreme Court on the occasion of the opening of the judicial yearAlberto Núñez Feijóo participated in the Madrid PP's opening ceremony with Isabel Díaz Ayuso. The leader of the Popular Party (PP) has opted to entrench himself with the Madrid president and make his distance from the Spanish government and its "mistakes" clear. Speaking in Arganda del Rey before a thousand Madrid PP members, Feijóo denounced Sánchez for having "defamed the judges" this week in the TVE interview and for the Attorney General appointed by the socialist leader "daring to give speeches before the Supreme Court" despite Ayuso being prosecuted. "We cannot look the other way," he explained regarding his absence from the event, criticized by Sánchez's executive for having thus abandoned institutionality as leader of the opposition.

"Sánchez has no limits; just look at the shame he has turned this year's opening of the judicial year into," he argued. Feijóo, who was glad he wasn't in the Supreme Court this Friday because "the "anomalies" of Sánchezism cannot be normalized." Feijóo's move was applauded by Ayuso, who thanked him for the gesture and celebrated the fact that, in doing so, he had made it clear that the only thing that can be done with the Socialist leader is to confront him. "It's enough to whitewash Sánchez's dictatorial state," affirmed the president of Madrid, who claimed her region as an anti-Sanchista stronghold. Feijóo joined this comprehensive amendment to the PSOE and Sumar executive. "They are no longer a government, they are a danger," asserted the Popular Party leader, who even adopted Ayuso's narrative that presents Sánchez as "authoritarian" with a comparison to the dictator Francisco Franco. "Before Sánchez, the only one who believed that elections were annoying was Franco," asserted the PP leader. A statement that generated a few seconds of hesitation among the audience before they began to applaud the reference to the dictator.

"Sanchez fears justice"

In Feijóo's opinion, justice is Sánchez's "number one fear" due to the legal cases surrounding his entourage. Hence, he has adopted the strategy of attacking judges "so that they don't point the finger at him." "He's just two news broadcasts away from saying there are political prisoners in Spain," opined the PP president. Feijóo has promised that when he governs, "the judiciary will once again be an independent power in Spain," thus taking up the gauntlet of the Madrid president, who has demanded that the PP be "the great defender of the rule of law."

Both have avoided any reference to the prosecution of Ayuso's boyfriend for tax fraud and the attacks on the Attorney General, whom the Madrid president's entourage has been pursuing for months in court and with public warnings for having denied the false narrative she spread about the case. The president of Madrid once again argued that it is Sánchez who is "harassing her" and denounced "his shameful use of the institutions and the money of all Spaniards to oppose the opposition and the autonomous communities governed by the PP." Spain's main problem, Ayuso insisted, is that there is a president of the Spanish government who is "going to clash with everything."

Attack on the independence movement

The president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, and the independence movement have not been spared criticism either. Ayuso denied that Isla could be considered a "moderate" after meeting with the leader of Junts, Carles Puigdemont, and denounced the cancellation of part of the debt of the regional liquidity fund (FLA) as a means of allowing the independence movement to "continue committing crimes." "They want to create a parallel nation in our face and expel the state of Catalonia," she warned. Feijóo agreed that Sánchez would be willing to "go on his knees to Switzerland" to stay in power with the votes of the Junts.
