Inés Arrimadas has dealt the first blow to assume the leadership of Citizens. In the prelude to the vote that will take place this weekend among all affiliates, the official candidate has achieved 78% of the compromisarios, compared to Francisco Igea, who heads the team of critics.
The United and Adelante candidacy, that of Arrimadas, has obtained at least 277 compromisarios while the one of Citizens Are You, of Igea, has remained in the 21, according to the data of scrutiny that the team of Arrimadas has spread.
This vote is the first time that forces affiliates to comment on the internal debate opened in Citizens and, therefore, has a very high value to anticipate what could happen this weekend.
However, the compromisarios will not decide that vote, but their role will only be to debate and position themselves during the congress of March 14 and 15 about the changes in the statutes, which is the other great battle front between Arrimadas and Igea, in addition of the ideological. In this yes, the official candidate has all to gain after the results obtained to approve that Citizens do not have autonomous baronies. Precisely the model that Igea defends.
