The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has been forced to release a statement this Thursday about the rebellion of the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, to practice abortions as required by law. Feijóo has distanced himself from his Madrid baroness without mentioning her and has stated that if he reaches the Government he will guarantee abortions “in accordance with the laws”, which would then imply complying with this register of objectors. The head of the opposition has also attacked the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, whom he accuses of “scaring people with hoaxes about false abortion bans.”
The PP leader’s statement, disseminated through his account on the social network The reference to the law is the key because it is what Ayuso has departed from by refusing to create the registry of objectors. “Go somewhere else to have an abortion!” the Madrid leader snapped this morning at the control session in the Madrid Assembly.
Before Feijóo, the spokesperson for the Popular Party in the Senate, Alicia García, had put herself in profile and had avoided evaluating Ayuso’s words in the Assembly. “The autonomous communities have powers in these matters, in health matters, I am not going to talk about issues that interest the left, which are smoke screens to cover Sánchez’s corruption,” the popular leader replied, going off on a tangent. In a second question in which he was asked specifically whether or not he expressly endorsed the statements of the president of the Community of Madrid, García argued that he had already “responded” previously. The reaction contrasts with that of the week by Génova, which initially supported the mayor of Madrid, José Martínez-Almeida, after the approval of the Vox initiative to provide information on an alleged post-abortion syndrome that was not scientifically proven.
