Placed in five rows carefully arranged behind the back of Isabel DÃaz Ayuso, the 190 PP candidates for the Assembly and the Madrid City Council posed this Thursday for a large family photo that the popular ones have exhibited as a wall against Sanchismo.
‘Madrid, Pedro, don’t touch’, was the rallying cry with which the mayor of Madrid, José Luis MartÃnez Almeida, warmed up the event held in the Parque de la Cuña Verde de O’Donnell and in which, later The regional president has also taken the floor. Both have called their own and have harangued them to transfer to the set of municipalities the dominance that the PP showed in 2021 with the electoral advance dictated by Ayuso to get rid of the uncomfortable coalition partner that Ciudadanos was proving to be.
The union exhibited is new and is the result of the banishment of the internal bicephaly of previous years that Ayuso has arranged after taking the reins of the party by emerging victorious from the internal fight with Pablo Casado. There is not a single candidate who does not have the approval of the president of the community. Not even the two recently signed defectors from Ciudadanos in Cibeles, although Ayuso has shown that he still does not know their names very well.
The Madrid president has arranged a diverse group full of new faces with the aim of starting “a great comeback” in 95 municipalities where they do not govern. “We have a lot of work ahead of us,” she pointed out before presenting Madrid as the tomb of sanchismo and the starting point for the defense of the country against the “totalitarian drift” of the central government.
“Now that we are facing a moment of large majorities, there is no room for conformism, since it is the worst enemy of any political project, neither pride, nor taking anything for granted. In politics, nothing good comes to those who expect to inherit. That is why it is precisely now when we also have a firm commitment to renewal”, he pointed out to the regional leader.
Ayuso, finally, has demanded that they work “in moderation, effectively, assuming debate and accountability, putting the general interest before their own, with the certainty that things are being done well” as well as that everyone cares put “illusion and desire”.
