Internal divergences in the PP after Isabel Díaz Ayuso's statements about distrust in voting by mail.
The PP spokesperson, Borja Sémper, stated this Tuesday in an interview on Onda Cero, reported by Efe, that the postal voting system has a series of controls that guarantee that the procedure is controlled, all after the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, asked on Monday "everyone not to even think about voting by mail."
Sémper has assured that "the system is guaranteed" and has controls that ensure that the procedure is monitored by the Central Electoral Board, where the PP is represented.
"We are going to guarantee that this is the case and what we ask is that Spaniards go to vote by land, sea and air with in-person voting and with voting by mail," said the spokesperson for the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
"No cheating"
A position clearly differentiated from that of Isabel Díaz Ayuso that has not caused the Madrid president to change her position: "What everyone has to do is go to the ballot box," the regional leader stressed shortly after Sémper's words, during a visit to Ifema, where the Fruit Attraction horticultural fair is held.
"It's about no one being above the rules. I defend that there are no traps, no inflated censuses at the last minute, that Congress is not hijacked through the Permanent Deputation," Ayuso explained about his controversial words from the previous day.
But nothing seems to change, since the Madrid president assures that her speech has not changed: "It is something that I have been saying for many years. I do not understand why suddenly today it is news," reproached Ayuso, who sees on the contrary that the left is trying to take advantage of her words and confront the PP.
"I am not going to be the object of a campaign, no matter how much Sánchez intends to be. The idea is that everything Ayuso says is polarizing," the leader recriminated towards Moncloa and the left.
"He knows that he is finished. He is the most cunning and deceitful man in Spanish politics," he said of Sánchez. "The only thing I'm saying is that we be attentive, I'm not the only politician in this country who says it," she said on the matter.
