The irregularities with which Más Madrid has purged nine neighboring members of the districts of Salamanca, Tetuán and Carabanchel are accumulating. After OKDIARIO reported last week that the expulsions of these nine members were carried out in breach of the regulations of the Municipal Group for not respecting the forms and deadlines, this newspaper has detected that it was also done referring to a spurious reason that contradicts internal regulations Of the information.
This is, not paying the so-called Financial Letter, a mandatory donation for which they must give the party 13% of their allocation as neighboring members, which amounts to € 576.47. However, the party he leads Rita Maestre in Madrid it contemplates a series of exceptions for which neighboring members will be exempt from making these contributions.
Specifically, the Madrid City Financial Charter Team that make up Chico Fernández, Miguel Montejo and Edurne Irigoien, points out that «those neighboring vowels that are in unemployment, are in an ERTE with a reduction in working hours and salary greater than 75% or are preceptors of some of the recognized minimum incomes (IMV or RMI) will be exempt from making the contribution as long as this situation continues.
A total of six of the nine neighboring members who have been defenestrated are unemployed, another has a precarious job with which he does not reach the minimum interprofessional salary while, of the other two remaining, one began to pay the Financial Letter but it suspended the payment when it verified that the money was going to Más País instead of Más Madrid and the other never received the information it requested to start making payments.
In this way, it is clear that the motivation for the termination of these members of not paying the Financial Letter is false in relation to the people who are unemployed, three of them women who have been left without any source of income, and actually responds, as those affected maintain, to a political retaliation.
OKDIARIO has spoken with two of these neighboring vowels -who prefer not to reveal their identity- who have shown their absolute «perplexity»About what has happened after years of hard work in your district.
Both acknowledge that they are still in “shock” by what has happened and criticize the drift that Más Madrid is taking since it was constituted as a political party to use and left behind the municipalist spirit with which it was born from the hand of Manuela Carmena.
After filing allegations in front of the Madrid City Council for the formal errors with which their “inexplicable” dismissal has materialized, they are waiting for the City Council to give them some kind of response, something in which, however, they have little trust because his dismissal has already been published in the Official Gazette of the Madrid City Council (BOAM).
However, these neighboring vowels and their companions pretend exhaust all possible avenues, including judicial, to try to repair the “injustice” that has been committed to them.
An injustice that other neighboring members also see who have had better luck and have not been expelled, but who fear publicly showing solidarity with them for fear of the consequences that may have seen what has happened with his nine colleagues and many of them are also unemployed.
The real reason they think their heads have rolled has been the strong political differences with the new political party of Más Madrid that reached its apogee with the vote in favor of the Municipal Group to deliver the Medal of Honor of the city of Madrid to the former ‘popular’ mayor Ana Botella.
These women assure that their way of working in the district was an authentic «example of how you can be together even if you think differently» something that, it seems, will not have a place in Rita Maestre’s Más Madrid, from which the four councilors who were part of the Government of Carmena, Marta Higueras, José Manuel Calvo, Luis Cueto and Felipe Llamas.
A party that, they regret, has not even thought about the unemployed people who have been left without their only source of income. “They have not thought about the real consequences that their decision, made quickly and running, was going to have in the real lives of people,” they say.
