Almeida certifies that Inmaculada Sanz will be the next deputy mayor of Madrid

José Luis Martínez-Almeida is still finishing putting together his next government team at the head of the Madrid City Council, but he already has a clear appointment. Inmaculada Sanz, who during the coalition government with Citizens has held the area of ​​Spokesperson, Security and Emergencies, will be the vice mayor in the new municipal corporation.

The acting mayor has insisted in an interview on Onda Cero that he has two weeks ahead of him to "think about" the structure of his future Government and for the Executive to be as "effective" and "efficient" as possible. But that confection does not affect his right hand.

Sanz has not only been the spokesperson for the Government of PP and Ciudadanos, but has also directed Security and Emergency affairs and has also been the director of the electoral campaign of Almeida, who last Sunday obtained an absolute majority (29 councilors) in the urns.

Regarding the possibility of approving some budgets for this 2023 - those of 2022 have been extended, as well as the fiscal ordinances, since both texts were not raised in full due to the lack of support that the Government of PP and Citizens was going to have in the vote-, Almeida has considered that it would be "very complicated" to have some new accounts because they would enter into force in October, so they would only be in force for three months.

They believe in the acting Government that "it is better to focus on making the best possible budgets for 2024", especially when an "extraordinary" job was done by the Treasury area with the budget extension, and because now the monocolor Executive of the PP will have the ability to approve budgetary modifications that the coalition with Ciudadanos, which governed in a minority, was unable to carry out in plenary sessions.
