We must celebrate that the strategy followed by some parties to transform the elections to the Community of Madrid into

a Manichean trench warfare

has not penetrated a citizenry that, at this point, distinguishes well between political pyrotechnics and real politics.

Thus, as confirmed by

the latest Sigma Dos survey that we publish today

, Madrilenians have very decided their options, almost unmovable for weeks now.

An overwhelming majority bet on Isabel Díaz Ayuso to

Continue as regional president.

The candidate

it would obtain 41% of the votes, which translate into 59 seats, practically double the result of the last elections.

With no possible alternative,

He would have no problem revalidating the position and an external support from Vox would be enough, which would get 12 seats in the Assembly

.

The block represented by the liberal continuity, already without a Cs that would remain without representation, far exceeds the absolute majority.

From Ayuso's powerful result, it is worth highlighting how stable is reflected in the voting preference

.

He started with a wide advantage since the elections were called, in clear support for his management of the pandemic, but also for liberal economic policies that represent an alternative model to the failed recipes offered by the Government of today.

And that support at such high levels, always around 40%, so commendable in a context of high party fragmentation, has remained unchanged.

It is of no use

the radicalization strategy that, desperately, promotes Podemos

We have already said that the staging of Pablo Iglesias in the debate of Being, with the clear intention of blowing up the campaign, did not seek but to spur a part of the citizenry

hyper-ideologized

, in a pathetic attempt to reverse the poor results that are predicted for the purple formation.

Iglesias opted to muddy the field as a last resort, but citizens have not only not fallen into the trap but also feel a deep rejection of

this strategy of sterile self-interested confrontation

in which the agitation of the trompe l'oeil of fascism, so tiresome and recurrent, causes special rejection.

Much will also have to reflect on the PSOE if it is confirmed

the great setback that our survey predicts for Gabilondo

, who will lose six points of support and as many seats, while it is observed how Más Madrid, with Mónica García at the helm, remains with part of its electorate and is dangerously close to it.

An erratic campaign, which l

The clumsy interference of Sánchez and Iván Redondo has completely blurred the socialist brand.

It is necessary to appeal once again to the people of Madrid to embrace good sense and rationality and flee from the tricky emotionality of increasingly radicalized populisms,

incompatible with the framework of coexistence that we have given each other

and with a prosperity to which they pose a threat.

That does deserve the punishment of the ballot box.
