The spokesperson for the PP in Madrid has announced his resignation following a governmental reshuffle in the Education department instigated by President Ayuso after failed negotiations with university leaders.
The political landscape in Madrid's education sector is undergoing significant upheaval as Pablo Posse, the spokesperson for the PP (People's Party) in the region's Assembly, has announced his resignation. This comes at a critical time as President Isabel Díaz Ayuso is implementing a substantial restructuring of the Education ministry following a breakdown in negotiations with public university rectors. The losses in confidence have led to a ripple effect, with multiple key positions within the department expected to change soon.
In his announcement, Posse revealed that he anticipated the resignation of other key figures, including the director general of Secondary Education and the director general of Universities. Just yesterday, the former education chief, Emilio Viciana, was unceremoniously dismissed by Ayuso after losing her trust. This swift action highlights the precarious situation within the Madrid government and underscores the challenges Ayuso faces in managing her administration's educational policies.
Furthermore, the political dynamics suggest that Ayuso's administration is facing internal discord, as other members of the PP, specifically two deputies, are also expected to resign. Known informally within the government as 'los pocholos' due to their distinct appearance, this group's departure illustrates broader tensions as Ayuso attempts to regain control and reshape her administration in light of recent crises in the education sector.
