Lady Machetes, Vox’s nickname for Ayuso for blaming his attacks on the ‘menas’, becomes TT

The extreme right is immersed in a war with the president of the Community of Madrid. In the last hours and after a response to Vox, followers of the formation have begun to call her ‘Lady machetes’. It all started this Thursday, after Ayuso blamed their constant attacks against unaccompanied foreign minors.

In her speech, the spokeswoman for the far-right formation in the regional parliament, Rocío Monasterio, related the attacks that took place last weekend in Madrid with these minors, to which the leader of the regional government replied that crime “is not related to the origin of people” and asked the party to stop mixing unaccompanied minors with all the problems that occur in the region, because the members of these criminal gangs are “as Spanish as Abascal, like you or me “.

After that chapter, Vox did not sit still and responded to the president on social networks, both from the institutional account and from that of the president himself, Santiago Abascal. But his followers went further and began to call Ayuso by the name of Lady Machetes through networks – they were the weapons used in those attacks. One of them was Arturo Villa. The son of the former mayor of Boadilla del Monte investigated in the Gürtel case responded to the Madrid president that “the Extremadurans and Andalusians who arrived in Catalonia were not stabbing or raping in a pack”: “You are not fooling anyone, Lady Machetes,” he snapped.

Minutes later he launched another tweet with the same nickname and implicitly referring to Ayuso, who had gone “from Lady Madrid to Lady Machetes”.

The expression has not gone unnoticed by the users of the popular social network, who have not been slow to turn it into a trend, with comments of all colors and ideologies: “We did not see this coming”, “What a time to be alive (what time to be alive)” or “It’s just a paripé between the right and the extreme right” have been some of the reactions of the tweeters.

The president of Vox also responded to Ayuso’s words during his speech in the Assembly. In a Twitter message, Santiago Abascal claimed that politicians have to “be clear and say if they are willing to face the problem,” referring to immigration.

Half an hour earlier, Vox had criticized Ayuso’s words on social networks, accusing her of “buying the discourse of the left” instead of “pointing out the origin of the problem (of the integration of the immigrant population in Madrid)”. In fact, the words of the regional president caused applause in the left-wing bench during the plenary session.

But in case there was any doubt as to whether Ayuso had had a left-wing thought when addressing Rocío Monasterio, the president herself has taken it upon herself this morning to respond to Arturo Villa’s tweet alleging that his words in the plenary session this Thursday were not against Vox with whom, he says “he has a good relationship”. “It is against communism that is destroying our institutions and in favor of open, inclusive Madrid and the freedom that Spain has won with so much sacrifice,” she has settled.

That has also brought responses from the tweeters: “She lowers herself with a guy who calls her Lady Machetes, introducing communism and on top of that for the only reasonable thing she has said in two years,” said one user of the network. “It is not communism that has called you Lady Machete,” replied another. “Stop false alarmism and lies, that where the PP governs, citizens (workers) lose rights,” a third party reproached him.
