"We categorically refuse this outrage." The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, was deeply critical on Monday of the agreement reached between the Government and the Generalitat for Catalonia to collect all taxes."It overwhelms the Constitution," said Ayuso, who promised that although the agreement"limits" tax cuts in other regions, the Community"will continue to apply its fiscal autonomy," while appealing this decision both to the Constitutional Court and the National Court.

"Saving Sánchez's head is going to cost us the unity of Spain," denounced the regional president, who believes that this pact"destroys Spain" and equality among Spaniards in order to keep in government a president who "is in the terminal phase." "We refuse to sign the death warrant," reproached Ayuso, who has already announced that she will not attend any meeting with the central government to address these changes, as Moncloa intends for the summer return.

The Community of Madrid has made the initial calculations, pending the final agreement, and estimates the cost of this pact at €2,000 per Madrid resident, through which the government"gives away almost €25 billion" to the independence movement. This amount, Ayuso warned, will rise to €57 billion, as the separatists are already demanding from the Treasury, and which not only deepens inequality among Spaniards, but directly"breaks the playing field."

"They're not partners or accomplices; they've risen in status. They're Sánchez's pimps, they're ruffians," the Madrid president lashed out."He makes the bed, and we Spaniards pay," she said, referring to the prostitution scandals with which the PP has been trying to undermine the PSOE in recent weeks.

However, the agreement reached in Catalonia has led Ayuso to toughen her criticism of Sánchez:"He's ready for anything. 'He's gone mad. Either we stop or there's no turning back. He's shown he's a danger to Spain,'" she said, while not ruling out legal action or street protests to denounce the situation.
