With the embodies of the still smoking, and a half, the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, adds this Friday to Vox’s speech and affirms that the “ideological agenda” and “pressure groups” hinder the prevention work against fire. The self -exculpatory argument of the conservative baroness, centered on the alleged difficulties in cleaning channels or pastures, is almost mimetic to the statement minutes before by Javier Ortega Smith, the councilor of the Fortma Right party in the town hall of the capital. Together at the delivery ceremony of the Bronze Doves of the Firefighters of the City of Madrid, the coincidence between the two politicians is another explanation of Díaz Ayuso: before sometimes similar proposals, voters prefer who has the power to turn ideas into facts.
The first to speak is, that he arrives in good morning to the Plaza de la Villa, where uniformed firefighters and service vehicles await politicians to celebrate their employer’s day.
“The terrible fires are not by chance,” he says, without even waiting for anyone to ask about the terrible fires that ravage all of Spain. “On the one hand are the pyóómanos, the fans, capable of destroying our ecosystems, our natural means, for their madness,” he continues. “But there is also the madness and climate fanaticism of those who with their 2030 agendas, with their European green pacts and with their climate fanaticism do not allow the mountains to be cleaned; traditional grazing, which helps clean sidewalks, firewall fires ”.
They are the words of a politician who represents a party without management responsibilities in the fight against fire, and therefore free to say and propose, without ties to extreme and radicalize the speech, because he does not have to account for the reality of the facts. Díaz Ayuso yes. President of the community since August 2019, the fire of three songs finds her on vacation outside of Spain. It does not return urgently, and thus delegates to Carlos Novillo, his interior advisor and firefighter, the management of the crisis. When the summer rule ends, Díaz Ayuso immediately addresses three songs, and on Thursday he visits the incident area, where long tongues of fire burn about 1,700 hectares, according to a government source.
The speed with which the president is present in the disaster zone shows the political cost that is charged her absence during the worst of the incident. But a day after his return, this Friday, Díaz Ayuso does not shine the subject. On the contrary, to the questions of the journalists, he dives into him and adds to the most radical discourse of Vox.
“You have to stop rigid bureaucracy,” he says about the alleged difficulties for the prevention work carried out in autumn and winter. “Many times [son] By pressure groups that prevent us from cleaning margins of the rivers, clearing, and that are carried away by ideological agendas that are not effective, ”he continues.“ As the people of the field point us, they are those that live daily there, all they do is prevent their daily work, when there were many more preventive grazing, clearing and cleaning of the forests …
Controversy in Jumilla
Díaz Ayuso defends the investments of his government, and that he has no powers to negotiate with forest firefighters, who have been these weeks of strike, and have attended the fires in minimal services, to claim an improvement of their salaries (which encrypts at 1,300 euros) and a greater stability of the staff (40% would be temporary).
The president speaks in the old headquarters of the City Council, where the sun illuminates it that sneaks through the stained glass window of the central courtyard, and sights the Quevedo from a bust placed at the top of the wall. He could end his speech there, but Ayuso is then asked about his opinion about what.
For a moment, it seems that the president of Madrid will haggle the controversy. After all, that happened almost two weeks ago, it is not its competence and has not even happened in the region that governs. But in the end Díaz Ayuso enters the rag and leaves another example of mimesis with Vox’s theses, without this heights being possible to discern, beyond the coincidence, who originated the arguments.
“Different thing are the cultural clashes that are taking place in Spain,” he says after navigating between two waters with Jumilla’s controversy. “We have a long task ahead, because demography in Spain is changing, and will do it now in speed in the coming years,” he argues, in veiled reference to the theory that the population of Muslim origin has more children than the average. “We have to decide how we want to live together and if there is going to be a cultural shock that will make us return [al pasado] Sometimes, ”he adds. And he finishes:“ (…) When we have reached levels of freedom and equality between men and women, I do not want to return because there is a cultural shock, and in some villages of Spain, and some areas, we are trying to change everything we have given here, and we are trying to impose another way of living or thinking at the hands of some who do not want to integrate ”.
