The president of the Community and the PP of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has finished this Monday configuring the list of all the party's municipal candidates for the elections on May 28, with the aim of starting "a great comeback". in 95 municipalities where they do not govern for which it will not have any of its current advisers.
This has been communicated by the Madrid leader herself at a press conference at the party headquarters, which has been marked by the announcement that the Minister of Health, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, will not finally be the candidate for Pozuelo de Alarcón but will leave the Regional government to go on the lists and be appointed regional senator. That position will be filled by the newly appointed Deputy Minister of Environment and Agriculture, Paloma Tejero, while the former Minister of the Government of Cristina Cifuentes Lola Moreno will be the candidate in Majadahonda.
Accompanied by the general secretary of the PP of Madrid, Alfonso Serrano, Ayuso has reeled off the names of the 93 municipalities that have yet to be communicated in which he has not included, despite speculation, any advisor to his Executive. The future of these will be decided when she sets up her electoral list and after the elections, according to what she has revealed.
"We have a lot of work ahead of us. I remind you that, currently, we are in opposition in 95 municipalities. We have eleven weeks ahead of us. We are obliged to a great comeback. The political situation in Spain and in Madrid also asks us to be more demanding with our teams and the project that we present to the people of Madrid", remarked the leader of the 'populares' of Madrid.
Thus, he has defended that many citizens look at Madrid "as a showcase for cutting-edge policies, which reinforce public services and offer more opportunity and freedom". "We are a team that governs for everyone while other parties govern furiously against a part of society, which considers that it does not vote for them and there is no right," she pointed out.
Faced with this, he has proclaimed that "Madrid is not going to forget the damage that (Pedro) Sánchez does to this Community." "It discriminates against us in investments, attacks us, breaks with our autonomy and creates new taxes for us," he subsequently denounced.
The current mayors of Las Rozas, José de la Uz; Boadilla del Monte, Javier Ubeda; Three Songs, Jesus Moreno; and Arroyomolinos, Ana Millán, will be ratified as candidates for the next electoral appointment of 28M.
Among the appointments, the youngest candidate, Lucía Diego (25 years old) in Santorcaz, and in the case of Gargantilla del Lozoya and Pinilla de Buitrago, the oldest candidate, Rafael García (76), also stands out. Luis Partida, who repeats in Villanueva de la Cañada, has been governing the municipality since 1979 and happens to be the mayor who has been in charge of a municipality in Spain for the longest years.
For their part, the active councilors of Pozuelo de Alarcón and Colmenar Viejo, Susana Pérez Quislant and Jorge García, will continue in the president's project in the next legislature in the Madrid Assembly. Both received communication from the party that they would not follow and, according to 'popular' sources, their "elegance" when accepting the decision has been valued.
