The full content of the electoral lists of the PP to the City Council and the Community of Madrid has not yet been revealed, but the first leaks certify the control that Isabel Díaz Ayuso has taken in the preparation of the municipal candidacy and anticipate a transfer of regional positions to the Palacio de Cibeles .
The name of Marta Rivera, current Minister of Culture, has been joined in recent hours by that of the directors Carlos Izquierdo -Local Administration- and David Pérez -Transportation-, as revealed by El País.
These are two councilors whose harmony with the president of the Community of Madrid has been waning in recent months until invalidating them to repeat in a hypothetical future regional government. Although both maintain a sufficient level of confidence to act as banners of Ayusismo in the City Council from where, it should be remembered, part of the internal war maintained by the former president of the party, Pablo Casado, and the president was brewing.
The mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, for his part, has managed to include the current spokesperson and delegate for Security and Emergencies, Inmaculada Sanz, as his number 2. Although his confirmation also has the seal of Ayuso after the removal of the casadistas from the Madrid PP that he now presides over.
This renewal of charges with which Ayuso will get rid of middle cadres aligned with Casado in the war that included an espionage plot will be presented in a few hours to the Regional Electoral Committee for subsequent approval on Tuesday the 18th in the National Electoral Committee.
"It will be a list that, from the first moment, is proposed by the candidate, but that the Regional Directorate and the National Directorate necessarily also had to give their opinion," Almeida acknowledged after confirming the direct supervision that Ayuso has carried out on it.
The list of capital Madrid has been the great objective of Ayuso, but the hand of the regional president has been noticed in many others -with special relevance of Pozuelo and Majadahonda, whose casadista mayors will not repeat the 28-M despite showing today the baton of command.
The regional president's team refuses to talk about revenge and insists that it is a generational "renewal" by which the average age of the 179 mayoral candidates in the region has dropped to 45 years and that it will serve as a "school of values behind our work".
