The vice president of Castilla y León, Francisco Igea , has made public tonight in Madrid that he will present himself to the citizens' primary so that his party "remains an autonomous project" and "remains where he was born, in the center." In an act before more than 150 militants in the House of Cows of Madrid, Igea has proclaimed that he will finally be a candidate for the primaries since Inés Arrimadas has not wanted to agree on a model of Cs "more participatory and democratic" and "less centralist", which is what ensures that the Manager and the spokeswoman in the Congress .

In his speech, Igea explained that he has tried "until the last day" to reach an agreement with Inés Arrimadas to "democratize Citizens" and turn it into a party "that depends on the militants, not on the will of a single person." After not getting it, Igea has proclaimed at the end of his speech: "Today I have to tell you, as I said a year ago, there will be primary because I introduce myself."

The nearly 200 attendees have stood up and started chanting "President! President!"

Igea will appear again to the primaries against the apparatus and against the candidate supported by the management. In 2019 he already managed to win the establishment of Cs by defeating the favorite of Albert Rivera and the national leadership, Silvia Clemente , to be the liberal candidate to preside over the Junta de Castilla y León .

This time, he will have it harder because he will face directly what everyone in Cs sees as Rivera's natural successor, Inés Arrimadas, the Barcelona deputy who aspires to lead the party and maintain the centralized structure that Cs has had so far, according to Igea's analysis.
