The promotion to Minister of Health of the still spokesperson for Más Madrid in the Assembly, Mónica García, has opened a succession process as leader of the opposition to the regional president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, in the Madrid regional parliament. And the solution adopted in the Madrid training is through Manuela Bergerot.
Born in Argentina in 1976, but a resident of Madrid since she was two years old when she arrived with her parents as refugees, Bergerot has a degree in Library Science, Archival Science and Documentation and a degree in Information and Documentation from the Complutense University of Madrid. The deputy has dedicated her professional life to research, communication and awareness-raising on human rights with a gender perspective.
Bergerot has the experience of having worked both in the municipal group in the capital, where she worked as an advisor on social affairs, and in parliament. In Más Madrid she has served to date as the second deputy spokesperson for the formation. A position that she has alternated with the organizational secretary of Más Madrid. A more tactical assignment than her new position as spokesperson and for which she has focused on designing and executing its territorial expansion – after only four years, Más Madrid has managed to have an institutional presence in 58 municipalities of the Community.
Bergerto’s knowledge of Madrid politics and Más Madrid, as a party, is total, having been one of the party’s main negotiators. Both at the regional level and in the recent fit within Sumar on the occasion of the general elections last July.
Although the spokesperson in Móstoles and regional deputy, Emilio Delgado, also appeared in the pools, the leadership and female significance of the party has weighed decisively in the appointment of Bergerot.
The task of the new spokesperson for Más Madrid will not be easy as she will have to combine, at least initially, her new tasks with those of the internal organization of the party. Something that, according to party sources, could lead to new appointments in the near future to balance that distribution.
