The feeling is the majority in Más Madrid, the instrumental party led by Íñigo Errejón: the platform, born last January, must be submitted to the general elections for the new call on November 10. While the leader of the party keeps a measured silence, it is growing between the bases and the leaders -19 councilors in the City Council and 20 deputies, as well as mayor in numerous municipalities in Madrid- the mood that it is an opportunity that should not be rejected.

Therefore, leaders and militants of More Madrid today hold an assembly to discuss whether the formation, which does not yet have management bodies, attends the election date. According to party sources, Errejón himself will not go "not to condition the debate." Nor will the former mayor, Manuela Carmena, be expected to have refused to lead this candidacy.

In the party they are aware that there is a free space between the PSOE and Podemos, a space that could well occupy More Madrid, whose leader has always been in favor of agreeing with the Socialists and this has been reflected publicly these weeks while Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias discussed the possible formation of a coalition government.

In the formation many maintain that Errejón and his platform must jump to the national scene for "responsibility" and to try to guarantee a leftist government after 10-N, while in the surroundings of the Madrid deputy it is assumed that if today there is a cry for the Errejón to make the leap, he will give it.

"I wish we didn't have to meet because the responsibility had prevailed and we already had a progressive government. But it's time to talk and make decisions with only one objective: to be useful so that this time the electoral mandate is fulfilled," Hugo said in his Twitter account yesterday Martínez Abarca, deputy of More Madrid.

Last week, one of the mayor of More Madrid in the Consistory, Paco Pérez, also made clear in his column in eldiario.es that in the event that an agreement between PSOE and United Podemos can not be reached, "More Madrid it should concur for the constituency of Madrid headed by its main referents ".

"The candidacy would not subtract but add, by avoiding the abstention of many progressive voters. It would also be a touch of attention to the majority parties of the left, unable to agree," he explained.

Asked about it, Iglesias himself, secretary general of Podemos, and once friend and companion, considered that the return to the national policy of his former number two would occur "sooner or later" because, according to Iglesias, the autonomous "is something that has never interested him. "

Errejón's arrival in Madrid came after losing Vistalegre II to the Pabloites. The former political secretary agreed to lead the candidacy of Podemos in Madrid, but finally, he stood outside the organization by deciding to join the More Madrid platform, led by Manuela Carmena, with whom he made tandem in the last municipal and regional elections.
