The leader of Podemos, Ione Belarra, confirmed this Saturday that she will be the party's lead candidate in the regional elections for the Community of Madrid, scheduled for May 2027. The announcement was made during the central event of the Spring Festival, a key gathering for the party's ideology.
Belarra justified her decision as a necessity to face the political contest "with full force." The leader expressed her intention to "once and for all twist the arm of that unbearable bad person that is Mrs. Ayuso," referring to the current regional president.
“"I am very angry that everyone has given up in this community"
During her speech, the Secretary General of Podemos expressed her frustration with the "rulers in Madrid" and criticized what she perceives as a lack of political resistance in the region. The audience responded to her statements with cheers of support.
