"[Isabel Díaz] Ayuso is not above the law. She will have to comply with it," said Manuela Bergerot, spokesperson for Más Madrid, in the corridors of the Madrid Assembly on Thursday. This was a phrase often heard from representatives of the PSC, Catalunya Sí Que es Pot, Cs, or the PP in 2017, when the Catalan government was preparing to unilaterally declare independence, changing the subject to "Carles Puigdemont." Eight years after the DUI (Monday is October 27th), the regional chamber of the Spanish capital has replaced the Parliament of Catalonia.honor of hosting the most tense plenary sessions, especially during the sessions overseeing the Madrid president.

The PP has long been entrenched in a trench, firing at (almost) anything that doesn't come from its ranks. So much so that in the Madrid Assembly, the Popular Party (PP) harshly criticized and voted against a text identical to the one they themselves had presented in the Senate.

The overwhelming triumph of Isabel Díaz Ayuso in the Community of Madrid establishes the PP's radicalisation for the polarisation of Spanish politics. It is the victory of a Trump-inspired populism and it is, at the same time, the normalisation of the far-right Vox, whose discourse has been whitewashed by an Ayuso who will need its support to be invested president. Ayuso now aspires to everything: to take control of the Popular Party and to prepare a leap towards the government of the Spanish government, from the platform her resounding success in the capital's elections gives her. Ciudadanos's disappearance from the Madrid Assembly, key to Ayuso's victory, leaves open the PP's path towards the hegemony of the right, with its sights set on the government of the State. In fact, PP's candidate has not taken place in a local key, but against the first left-wing coalition government in Spanish history, a PSOE-Unidas Podemos government that was possible thanks to the votes of Catalan and Basque independentists, for whom the ascent of the new leader in pectore of the Spanish far right is a direct threat. The mental distance between the electoral majorities in Catalonia and Madrid is widening. In the Community of Madrid, the unabashed neoliberal discourse and the unleashed Spanish nationalist discourse have won: this is what the sum of Ayuso and her appendage Monasterio represent. Neither the management of the coronavirus nor the corruption cases affecting the PP have taken their toll on this reinvented right wing. What counted more were open bars and the promise of lower taxes, metaphors of a precarious and reductionist ideal of freedom, a flag brandished before the absurdity of a supposed communism embodied by Iglesias.

New chapter in the legal mess in which the Community of Madrid is immersed since yesterday is immersed in the Community of Madrid. After the publication this morning of the decree of electoral call for May 4, the Assembly of Madrid has been dissolved. However, the bureau - which yesterday Wednesday admitted ttwo motions of censure presented by the PSOE and Más Madrid - plans to appeal against Isabel Diaz Ayuso's snap election call. It points out that the motions of censure were processed first, leading to an unprecedented clash between the executive and legislative powers in Madrid.
