Last week, in the plenary session of the regional assembly and following the controversy over the registration of doctors who object to performing abortions, he did it again. She launched what could seem like an outburst and which is nothing more than a slogan, one more of the very long list of forceful phrases that the leader launches with the aim of not stopping bouncing in the following days. . The other side is not to another autonomous community, as it might seem from what Ayuso stated. The other way is to the private clinic next door, where possibly the same doctors who refuse to perform pregnancy terminations in public healthcare have no problem doing so. Charging, of course.
. But it’s something more. In the same way that his outbursts are more thought out and measured than they seem, his proposals go beyond a quick way to keep his parish in a state of permanent excitement against the “progressive dictatorship.” Ayuso proclaims herself an objector and does so publicly, in parliament, in front of everyone. Its idea is that a state institution (autonomous governments are the State) can select which laws it complies with and which it does not. A la carte. That was, basically, what he proclaimed last week. The Government of the Community of Madrid will only comply with those laws that it likes. The rest, no. The registry of professionals who refuse to perform abortions, no. Neither does the housing law. From now on, . That is Ayuso’s message. A torpedo in the waterline of the rule of law, something that “liberals” like her like so much and that proclaims that all institutions are subject to the laws, and have the duty to comply with them and enforce them. All of them, those you like and those you don’t. There is no possible objection here, the institutions have no conscience. Accepting that in Congress there are majorities that make laws is the ABCs of democracy.
Ayuso seems to be following the same path that the pro-independence majority in the Parliament followed in the years of the processbecause it was not to their liking, as it did not have the support of the parliamentary majority. That majority also decided that it could disobey the Constitutional Court because it did not recognize its “legitimacy” (Ayuso has not done so yet, but the Supreme Court has, that’s nothing). The legislative shortcut of the parliamentary majority in Catalonia led to a judicial investigation for rebellion and a sentence of several years in prison for the instigators. Sure. Sure.
