"My Falcon has more frequency than your Cercanías": who launches this campaign against Pedro Sánchez in the Sol metro in Madrid?

After some controversial posters, such as that of the candidate for mayor of Podemos in Madrid, Roberto Sotomayor, messing with the wealthy of the Salamanca neighborhood and the current mayor of the capital, José Luis Martinez-Almeida, or the slogan "Madrid is the host " of Más Madrid, this Friday, the political dispute has risen in tone.

The Puerta del Sol metro station has appeared with some digital advertising posters on the canopies of the JDecaux company with the phrase: "My Falcón has more frequency than your Cercanías" and winged a caricature of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. Or other canopies with President Sánchez on the presidential plane, wearing sunglasses and a suit, and next to a subway station full of travelers in which he puts the slogan: "It was called cercanías until Sánchez took over." The PSOE of Madrid has already announced that it has denounced this campaign, whose authorship is unknown.

This service depends on the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda and is part of the Madrid Regional Transport Consortium, the body that coordinates the different means of public transport in the region. During the last months there have been many problems and breakdowns both in the metro network and in the suburban trains of the Community of Madrid.

The marquees do not show who the clients of the advertising company are, nor the logo of any party. But the criticisms of the candidate for the presidency of the Community of Madrid of the PSOE, Juan Lobato, have not been long in coming.

The socialist candidate Lobato, has criticized the Madrid metro posters, which read "My Falcon has more frequency than your Cercanías", and has asked that the rest of the parties put up "posters with clear proposals", at the same time that He has warned that they are going to denounce him.

This was indicated to journalists in an act with young people together with the Minister of Science and Innovation, Diana Morat, when asked about these posters that are advertised in the Sol station, in the center of Madrid, and that it is unknown who has borne

However, Lobato has pointed out: "If in the electoral campaign they again have to resort to the ETA and the Falcón, instead of putting the proposals on the table, then this is what we have in the PP in Madrid."

"There are the rest of the parties that want to continue with the tension and the confrontation," the socialist asserted.

When asked if they know if it was the Popular Party, he asserted that "they don't know who they are" but he refers to them because "they are the ones who constantly drive out ETA and the Falcón".

"We are the only ones who have a clear model, a regional purpose and specific proposals for Madrid", Lobato has defended.

Sources from the Madrid PSOE have confirmed to Efe that they have already filed a complaint against the Central Electoral Board for these posters located in one of the busiest stations.

Digital panels display different slogans every twenty seconds: “It was called Cercanías, until Sánchez took over. Breakdowns” or “Me in my Falcon. You in my neighborhood.

Users of social networks and the subway in Madrid have not been unaware of this new political advertising campaign and have launched numerous comments, such as that of Óscar Díaz de Liaño, who admits that he has laughed a lot with advertising, or Benjamín López, who wonders on the same social network: "Whose campaign will it be, since you don't see any logo?"
