The general secretary of the PSOE-M has voiced disagreement with polls projecting an absolute majority for the Popular Party in the Community of Madrid. In a television interview, the socialist leader questioned the credibility of these surveys, implying that "too much money" is spent on "paid polls."
“"I don't believe that one and a half million Madrid residents would vote for the regional president after knowing what she does."
This stance reflects the PSOE-M's difficulty in accepting the consistent support the Popular Party maintains in the region. The survey in question, published by a national media outlet on the occasion of Dos de Mayo, reaffirms the electoral strength of the regional president, despite the criticisms.
The socialist leader also took the opportunity to criticize various aspects of the regional administration, including the closure of health centers and hospital beds, the housing situation, the management of residences during the pandemic, public universities, and the regional stance on the conflict in Gaza.
Furthermore, he condemned the Popular Party's support for a mayor in the region, despite an accusation of sexual and labor harassment against him, calling the situation "incomprehensible" to justify voting for the regional president. Despite these criticisms, polls continue to show a clear dominance of the Popular Party in Madrid.
