In the Assembly of Madrid, the never seen.

It is Thursday, Isabel Díaz Ayuso is speaking, and Serigne Mbayé, a deputy for Podemos, stirs in her seat, not to criticize her words, but to support them.

Rocío Monasterio, from Vox, has just said that "illegal immigration causes terror in our neighbourhoods" and she has asked the president to close the centers that take in unaccompanied minors "to protect the people of Madrid".

With the PP and Vox competing to seduce the same electorate in Sunday's elections in Castilla y León, Díaz Ayuso's response causes a milestone: the support and approval of the representatives of Más Madrid, PSOE and Podemos, united, first , in an ovation that is a criticism of the extreme right;

and immersed, later, in the sorrow caused by the fact that the PP governs precisely thanks to Vox.

“I appreciate the rally question.

I have no competition in anything you have just described ”, Díaz Ayuso starts his response to Monasterio.

"If you deny the Community of Madrid, the powers of Madrid, you are wasting time and making others lose it," he snaps at the spokeswoman for the only party willing to support the PP in the Assembly.

"Crime is not related to the origin of the people, they mix the

[unaccompanied foreign minors] with everything over and over again," recalls the president about the deadly night that took place on Saturday in Madrid, when two were killed youths.

And she concludes: "The youth gangs are Spanish, in the Latin gangs there are second-generation immigrants as Spanish as [Santiago] Abascal, like you, or like me."

The words of the conservative leader from Madrid come almost at the same time as Operation Bacano, in which the Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization belonging to the Dominican Don't Play (DDP) gang based in the provinces of Toledo and Madrid, in which three of its members are allegedly involved in the murder of a 25-year-old young man last Saturday in the Madrid neighborhood of Usera.

When the applause ends, a sonorous expression of the communion of the entire Chamber against Vox, the moment of irony arrives, and the return to the daily clash between the parties.

"Mrs. Ayuso, it is very good, but if you want to maintain your speech, these cannot be your partners, neither in Madrid nor in Castilla y León", Juan Lobato, the spokesman for the PSOE, intervenes immediately, recalling that it is precisely the leader Madrilenian who first spoke of the possibility that the two right-wing parties repeat an alliance after the regional elections this Sunday.

“Be careful with her speeches, she is this close to calling herself a social communist,” Mónica García, the leader of Más Madrid, ironically later joked.

The head of the opposition then sees how Díaz Ayuso takes advantage of the reply to demand that she resign if she fails to prove her accusation that the Community has showered contracts on companies related to the family or friends of the president.

The delighted left applauding progressive policies…while sleepless parents worried about the safety of our children.

For its part, Monasterio does not remain undaunted and dismayed on the bench.

On the contrary.

Controversy is the perfect gasoline to feed the discourse of the extreme right.

If Monasterio starts her previous intervention denouncing "the soft policy of the PP and the PSOE with illegal immigration", the applause of the left for Ayuso provides an example with which to support her argument against her voters.

You just have to review her social networks.

“The left delighted applauding progressive politics…while sleepless parents worried about the safety of our children,” she writes on Twitter.

Not a sign of spite.

Not a sign that Vox is bothered that the leader of the PP criticizes her approaches without hot cloths after having approved the Budgets, a tax reduction or the reform of the Telemadrid law that has allowed the two parties to control public television and radio .

A sign, perhaps, that this Thursday in the Assembly precisely what Monasterio wanted happened at the gates of the vote in Castilla y León: a controversy that points out the differences between PP and Vox just before the polls.

Counselor Dancausa's disapproval

On the other hand, the PP and Vox have avoided the disapproval of the Minister of Family, Youth and Social Policy, Concepción Dancausa, after revealing the

that at least three minors protected by the Community were being sexually exploited by a network of pimps

"Their lack of control was taken advantage of by the mafias to subjugate the girls," said Emilio Delgado, from Más Madrid, during the debate on the proposal.

“Not a single protective measure!

It was their bloody responsibility and they haven't done anything."

This is how Paloma García Villa, from Podemos, has continued: “He has shown a lack of empathy.

You are not qualified for the position you occupy.

She can't be a counselor anymore.

You have no forgiveness."

A thesis shared by Jesús Celada, from the PSOE: “His intervention [last week, explaining the case] was that of a hooligan.

With a cocky, disrespectful, histrionic tone, summed up in the phrase, this is no case”.

But although the left has united its votes, Vox has distanced itself from the disapproval, and has allowed the session to end with a standing ovation from the PP to Dancausa.
