“Imposing Irene Montero and Ione Belarra, the lowest valued Ministers of the Government, is a mistake by Pablo Iglesias that endangers the construction of an alternative of progress. It is a time for generosity and high vision. Garzón marked the way”. Barely 24 hours after Podemos called for a negotiation “without vetoes” for the construction of Sumar, the capital’s councilor for Más Madrid Félix López-Rey has raised the level of tension surrounding the negotiation process with the tweet that heads this paragraph and that It didn’t take long for it to go viral.

The public message of López-Rey, number 2 of Rita Maestre in the City Council, clashes with the caution with which Más Madrid is approaching the “how” to run for the general elections on July 23. In fact, no member of the party leadership had echoed the tweet an hour after its publication. On the contrary, the reactions to it in Más Madrid have been from within and they coincide in appealing to caution in the face of hasty reflections.

Pablo Iglesias did not miss the opportunity to comment on López-Rey’s move: “Dear Félix, when you were first elected as a councilor in the Madrid City Council, Belarra and Montero had not yet been born. I respect your career as a leader neighborhood and public office of the PCE and MM but here you are disrespecting our leaders. Hug,” said the former vice president of the Government and founder of Podemos.

“We are proud to make decisions collectively together with those registered, this is a hallmark of our training: make ourselves strong through the participation of all the people who want a fairer, greener and more feminist Madrid and a country Despite the tight deadlines, from Más Madrid we are betting on a participatory model to make decisions, because we already know that it is in common that the best decisions are made”, pointed out Manuela Bergerot, organization secretary of Más Madrid .
