“No one intends to take space away from anyone else.” The speech of Más Madrid the day after Yolanda DÃaz presented her candidacy for the presidency of the Government before the majority support of the left -with the exception of the expected absence of the state leadership of Podemos- sounds identical to the one verbalized by Sumar in the sports center Magariños from the capital. Its regional spokesperson, Mónica GarcÃa, has rejected the guardianships and has denied any hint of malicious conflict between the moderate confederal space and its confluences.
“We in 2021 -in the May 4 elections to the Community- also said it, I already said it, from Más Madrid we did not want guardianships either”, recalled the rival of Isabel DÃaz Ayuso in the next regional elections of Madrid in an allusion indirectly to whoever was the leader of Podemos Pablo Iglesias. And they did it because women are “a bit tired” of being told what to do.
GarcÃa, cheered yesterday by the second vice president of the Government herself, has expressed herself in these terms in an interview on Telecinco in which she has advanced that at the end of the year, when the general elections are held, citizens will find themselves with a ballot, the of Sumar, not two, as if Más PaÃs was free. “He is going to find Sumar’s ballot,” said the leader of the Madrid opposition.
The tuning is not accidental. And after being asked again about DÃaz’s removal from any guardianship, Mónica GarcÃa has answered that what she is looking for is “to develop a project that oozes enthusiasm and commitment on all four sides”, evidencing that the approach of positions is firm after several exchanges of opinions
In Mónica GarcÃa’s opinion, what Sumar does is put on the table “a way of understanding politics with all political actors and with respect for all political actors.” Yesterday, “fifteen parties with common goals, making good politics and courageous progressive policies” met. “I think that no one intends to take away the space of anyone else, and that is the idiosyncrasy of Sumar, because one of the things that characterize Yolanda DÃaz is dialogue,” the Más Madrid candidate asserted.
The first stop of this project will be on May 28 with the municipal and regional elections, “making known another way of doing politics”, like the one that Más Madrid does. “We offer the people of Madrid a way of doing optimistic politics, which is not angry, which appeals to reality, which speaks of the everyday, of what is important, of the real problems of the people”, he has listed.
GarcÃa has highlighted another coincidence with Sumar, the “harmony” with “his way of doing politics, in an optimistic way.” “That is why yesterday we wanted to support Yolanda DÃaz and be on the first stone of the future of progressive alternatives but always saying that we are here in Madrid, that our place in the world is Madrid and that our greatest contribution to that progressive space is to win the Community of Madrid”, he underlined.
Faced with this way of doing politics, she contrasts that of the regional president, Isabel DÃaz Ayuso, “because she is only interested in confronting Pedro Sánchez.” For Más Madrid, its rivals are “the waiting lists that Ayuso has left 42% higher; the barracks where the children are; the fact that the elderly are eating junk food in their nursing homes”, in short, “the bad policies that have been carried out in the Community of Madrid”.
Mónica GarcÃa is clear that the first project to undertake upon reaching Puerta del Sol will be to “fix the health disaster because it is the jewel in the crown, on which the social model depends”. “We are focused on the elections on May 28, in Madrid and we are very proud of our project as more Madrid”, remarked Mónica GarcÃa, who has insisted that the project for which she is a candidate is characterized by its solidity and by be rooted in the Community of Madrid.
Mónica GarcÃa that her challenge is not to maintain the sorpasso to the PSOE but to “give the sorpasso to Mrs. Ayuso”. “We are not going for second place, we are going for first place because we want the community of Madrid to have another government and another way of governing, far from the arrogance and arrogance of Mrs. Ayuso”, declared the regional candidate for More Madrid.
With the presentation of Sumar’s candidacy yesterday “it was shown that there is another way of doing politics, a friendly way, which is concerned about the problems of the people”, as has been done from Más Madrid.
