Location: Madrid, Spain, Hermann Tertsch is an outspoken MEP for the far-right party Vox. He nearly caused another scandal recently due to some of his verbal and public statements. Recent developments with his provocative declarations and ultra-right-wing positions have brought the discussion up again in flamewars and controversy concerning Spanish and European politics.
Tertsch’s Enthusiasm for Ayuso and Public Rebukes
In a new twist to this, Hermann Tertsch had posted a snap of Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, at the Puerta del Sol and a good message in aid of her. He captioned it as: “An extraordinary gesture in the midst of the threats against the indomitable presidency of Ayuso of Madrid, that keeps a tense Spain in emotional convulsions”. Quite a few people have tried to make more out of his move and see in this a calculated one to now vouch from the rooftop about the leadership and policies she has been implementing.
Tertsch’s support comes in the middle of time when Ayuso has been highly criticized for the handling of several political hot-button issues, particularly the controversial policy toward COVID-19 management in Madrid. The endorsement of Ayuso by the MEP for Vox indicates not only his joining her position of conservatism but also the conviction of contesting left-wing policies.
Isabel Díaz Ayuso’s management of the COVID-19 crisis still attracts substantial criticism. Especially on the administration’s management of care homes for the elderly in the times of crisis, Rosa Maria Artal is one of the journalists who often criticize Ayuso. The prominent journalist, among other allegations, says that Ayuso’s government rejected the hospitalization of the elderly infected with COVID-19. Therefore, this situation saw the continuous recording of mortuary incidences in care homes.

Despite many legal actions and complaints filed against Ayuso’s administration, they have been dismissed in many cases because there is not enough direct evidence of a connection between the decisions of that administration and the respective fatality involved. The constantly fuming controversy thus highlights that political accountability in a crisis is a tricky business.
Tertsch’s Critique of Maduro and the Protest Controversy
Apart from Ayuso, Tertsch was deeply involved in the protest against the current regime of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. The march, which 15,000 people took part in, tried to demand transparency in regards to Venezuela’s election results and denounce the accusations of electoral fraud and human rights abuses in Venezuela under the leadership of Maduro.
Lamento decir que el mitin de la presidente Isabel Díaz Ayuso en Sol secuestrando la manifestación por la libertad y el respeto al resultado y al presidente Edmundo González para mayor gloria de su partido y de su gobierno ha sido una puta vergüenza. E interminable además. pic.twitter.com/U5i4RFF5P2

The participation of Tertsch in that protest has not been without controversy, either. Many people have reproached him for allegedly “hijacking” the protest to further his personal political agenda. His speech, in fact, was delivered in such a way that many people interpreted it as a digression from the central purpose of the rally and received a number of rebukes from opponents as well as some of the participants.
Ayuso’s Reaction and the Broader Political Implications
In the wake of the protest and the role that Tertsch played in it, Isabel Díaz Ayuso has accused the socialist voters and leaders of being accomplices to the Venezuelan government. The reaction lays bare the ongoing political polarization in Spain, where accusations of complicity and ideological bickering go back and forth in public debate.
These phenomena have more far-reaching political implications, considering the deeply rooted ideological fault lines running through Spanish politics. The acts and words of Tertsch and Ayuso drove home just how high stakes the political atmosphere had become, along with the heavy burdens under which leaders are operating today, balancing a host of complicated issues at the international and domestic levels.
Los votantes socialistas son cómplices de Zapatero en Venezuela.
Lo son el expresidente, el presidente Sánchez, la izquierda y quienes sustentan a este Gobierno.

Actions and declarations undertaken by Hermann Tertsch recently have once more made him the central figure of political controversies. His support for Isabel Díaz Ayuso and taking to the street against Nicolás Maduro are expressions of permanent influence and a tireless fight for conservative principles. As the political scene suffers mutation increasingly, the actions and public views of Tertsch are definitely at the pivot of analysis probably more heatedly. source
