• 4-M. Pablo Iglesias's plan for Madrid

IU Madrid has ratified the agreement with Podemos Comunidad de Madrid to

jointly attend the next regional elections on May 4

, which gives it the deputy spokesperson of the future parliamentary group in the

Madrid Assembly

and second place in the future list of the coalition.

The formation has held its highest body this afternoon between Assemblies to deal, in a monographic way, the process of regional elections with an

agreement in terms very similar to the one reached in 2019

, when the regional candidacy of United We Can was articulated.

And it is that this Sunday the coalitions that will present themselves to these elections must be presented.

In this meeting, with the

participation of 100 people,

including members of the body and representatives of the Assemblies, IU Madrid has decided that it is time to "collaborate in a responsible manner" between both organizations and "put the interests of the Madrid social majority above of those of political organizations ".

"We must be generous and park negotiations", said

Fernando Jiménez

,

the head of the IU Organization in the region,

to ensure that "the extreme right and the extreme right can be beaten", although it would have been an "easier" objective if

More Madrid

would have accepted to join a single candidacy of unity between the parties to the left of the

PSOE

.

For IU Madrid, it is not necessary to review the agreement that was forged for the last regional elections, beyond eliminating references to the

Madrid in Pie space

, which was dissolved after the municipal and regional elections.

This was proposed to the body by the

Collegiate Commission of the Madrid Federation

, after voting on this position unanimously by all its members.

CONTENT OF THE PRE-AGREEMENT

Specifically, the pre-agreement establishes that IU Madrid will have positions 2, 6, 11, 13, 16 and 20. From that threshold, IU Madrid

will have a representative in each section of three and Podemos with two

.

Regarding the future parliamentary group, Podemos will hold the Spokesperson and IU Madrid with the Deputy Spokesperson.

Likewise, IU Madrid will designate the member of the Assembly Table who could obtain the training.

As for the Presidency and the General Secretary of the Parliamentary group, IU Madrid will have one of the two positions and Podemos the other.

Regarding the economic resources of the parliamentary group,

IU Madrid will have 35% of them

and of the different institutional representations to which the candidacy is entitled, a percentage that will also be applied to the distribution of electoral subsidies and financing of political parties , "present and future".

It also rules that the representatives by coalition or the parliamentary group in public entities (except

Radio Televisión Madrid

), organs of public companies, and foundations and patronages, as well as in the Madrid Federation of Municipalities, a 35% representation will be applied for IU Madrid and 65% for Podemos Community of Madrid.

If there are not enough representatives so that 35% can be applied in each body, distribution formulas that guarantee that proportion will be studied.

Likewise, Podemos would obtain the first autonomous designation senator while IU would hold the second, while IU would appoint the representative on the

Telemadrid Board of Directors

.

INTERNAL PRIMARY

"This is not the time to get into trifles regarding the agreement. Izquierda Unida assumes that the important thing is to evict

Isabel Díaz Ayuso

from Puerta del Sol and work together with Podemos and

Pablo Iglesias

to excite the Madrid citizens in a moment of maximum exception as the current one "has pointed out the co-spokesman of the formation,

Álvaro Aguilera

.

His counterpart,

Carolina Cordero

, has stressed that they are presented "with the best program, developed in a participatory manner two years ago in the Make Madrid space", and they have started, like Podemos Comunidad de Madrid, a process of internal primaries in IU to contribute "the best possible candidates".

Likewise, the body has continued the process of internal primaries of the formation and has welcomed the decision of the second vice president, Pablo Iglesias, to bet heavily on Madrid, unlike other formations "that have shown not to give the necessary importance to these elections at a crucial time for the region and the state.
