García communicated her decision to the media at the Congress of Deputies, following her earlier announcement of her intention to run again. The leader previously headed her party's list in the 2021 and 2023 elections.
The minister justified her candidacy by arguing that Madrid acts as a "brake on all progressive advances" promoted by the central Government. Furthermore, she believes the region is a "laboratory for the worst 'Trumpist' and far-right policies."
“"Since I arrived at the ministry, all I have done is open drawers, pull out obsolete legislation, and face the transformation of our healthcare system 40 years after a general health law…"
According to García, a change of Government in the region would represent "the best service record for the progressive space," benefiting not only Madrid citizens but also a "supposed moderate right" that, in her opinion, "will be glad" if the current regional Executive falls.
The leader of Más Madrid defended her department's work, highlighting reforms that, she claims, had not been addressed in 23 years, such as the lack of changes in the Framework Statute, the law on the organization of health professions, or the royal decree regulating residents.
Regarding her party's internal structure, García denied any "competition" and emphasized the importance of unity and collective talent. She mentioned other party leaders, stressing the need to "broaden the space" against the "very powerful machinery" of the Madrid PP.
