Ayuso, in a message to the mobiles of his deputies in Madrid: "Today the left is finished (...). kill them”

Early this Thursday morning, when the plenary session of the Madrid Assembly is about to begin, the president of the Community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, writes a message that ends up appearing on the phones of the 65 PP deputies.

“The left is finished (...).

kill them”.

That text, the existence of which has been confirmed to EL PAÍS by four sources, ends up setting the tone of a full bronco and full of reproaches.

With barely two months to go before the municipal and regional elections on May 28, the PP, urged on by its leader, is launching into trying to squeeze out of the debates all the current issues that benefit it in its political confrontation with the left-wing opposition. .

"Today the left is finished," reads that communication from Díaz Ayuso, which the parliamentary spokesman, Pedro Muñoz Abrines, forwards to the chat shared by all the conservative deputies.

The president begins the enumeration of topics to highlight:

"Announcement of 7B" begins, referring to an improvement in compensation for the residents of San Fernando de Henares who have lost their homes because of the Metro works.

"The health strike is over," he continues, alluding to the preliminary agreement reached with the representatives of primary care doctors, who have been protesting since November.

"My brother's thing is nothing", he highlights about the file of the investigation of the European Prosecutor's Office on the commission that Tomás Díaz Ayuso charged for providing masks to a company that had signed a contract with the Community.

"What happened in Móstoles is a shame," he highlighted about the reopening of the

which affects the socialist mayor of the city, Noelia Posse, and seven councilors.

"The Collapsed Cercanías", he adds, referring to the problems of a transport service that depends on the Government of Spain, formed by the PSOE and Podemos.

"Kill them", he says to encourage them to take advantage of all these issues contrary to the political and electoral interests of the Madrid left.

In the chat of the PP deputies in the Assembly, reactions in the form of emoticons soon follow one another: applause, arms that show biceps, and gestures reminiscent of those of a soldier who stands to attention before his captain.

So that there are no misunderstandings, one of the leaders of the parliamentary group writes another message: "You know, as we have said in the group meeting, on top of these messages."

These interactions offer a window into a world that is normally off limits, that of the passions of politicians and their preparation for parliamentary control sessions.

It also highlights the absolute control that Díaz Ayuso exercises over the regional PP since he became president of the party, in May 2022, and gathered organic and institutional power in his hands.

"Each plenary session, the person who sets the strategy of the parliamentary group is the president," explains an interlocutor familiar with the party's operations.

"Sometimes she personally goes to the group's meeting prior to the plenary, and intervenes, as the president of the group that she is," he continues.

"And there are times when she doesn't go and talk to the spokesperson, who is the one who leads the group on a day-to-day basis."

"Sometimes he sends instructions, as in this case, but it is not usual," explains a popular source about how the party's strategy is coordinated, in which the general secretary, Alfonso Serrano, and the spokesman, Muñoz Abrines, play a key role.

"Obviously, the 'kill them' is at a dialectical level, of debate."

"Nothing to say about private messages", Díaz Ayuso's team reacted to the content of a communication that shows that in the plenary session everything is orchestrated and choreographed.

Almost no reference to the present is improvised.

And for this reason, the issues that Díaz Ayuso highlights in his message appear again and again in his own mouth and in that of the PP deputies during the angry control session that is held later.

But above all, one after another, the interveners from the conservative party demand that their counterparts on the left apologize for having accused the president's brother of having received a commission in a public contract to import masks in which the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor and the European Union have not seen any irregularities.

The co-spokesperson for United We Can in the Madrid Assembly and candidate for the regional presidency, Alejandra Jacinto, spoke this Thursday in plenary.

“They wanted to lynch the president and her brother”, Muñoz Abrines' speech sums it up, interrupted time and time again by the ovations of the popular bench.

"Are you going to apologize, Mrs. [Alejandra] Jacinto for the insults and disqualifications that she has made on this matter in the last year?" She asks the Podemos spokeswoman.

"Mrs. [Mónica] García, are you also going to apologize for the false accusations that you have made in the last year about the president and her family?" She launches at the leader of Más Madrid.

Díaz Ayuso is silent about it.

He barely leaves a reference to the case in response to the opposition leader.

He already knows that this part of the work will be done by his deputies.

For this he has sent a message first thing in the morning establishing the line of action: “Today the left is finished (...).

kill them”.
