The current government, led by the Partido Popular, tied its continuity to the approval of the annual budget. Faced with a lack of necessary support, the mayor opted to trigger the vote of confidence mechanism, starting a thirty-day period for opposition groups to propose an alternative candidate.

A successful censure motion in Leganés requires an absolute majority of 14 votes. This would necessitate an alliance between ideologically opposed parties, a scenario that currently lacks political viability.

Vox has already ruled out participating in any joint project, while Más Madrid has highlighted the difficulty of reaching agreements with parties from such different political spectrums. Meanwhile, the local government, formed by the PP and Unión por Leganés, has criticized the opposition for lacking concrete proposals for the municipality.
