In search of replicating in Madrid the Illa effect that gave such good results in the recent Catalan elections, Moncloa yesterday presented what it hopes will be a catalyst for the next 4-M elections: the current Secretary of State for Migration, Hana Jalloul.
This 41-year-old doctor in International Relations, with a degree in Political Science, will be Ángel Gabilondo's number two to try to turn the current "trenches" of Madrid politics into "bridges of understanding", in the words
of the Secretary General of the PSOE-M , José Manuel Franco, who defined Jalloul as a "tireless worker", "brilliant" and "inclusive".
The strategy of recovering Jalloul for Madrid in these elections - she was already a deputy in the Madrid Assembly since the May 2019 elections until Sánchez made her Secretary of State - is not interpreted in the party as a short play, but rather as a long-term, since, if the duo with Gabilondo works well, it could be the headliner for the elections
in two years, to which the former rector of the Autonomous University of Madrid has already assured that he will not run .
Unless, of course, he came to govern, which would make him rethink his continuity.
PSOE sources explain that the signing of Jalloul, daughter of a Spanish mother and Lebanese father, intends to be presented in the campaign as Gabilondo's Kamala Harris,
in reference to the new vice president of the United States, Joe Biden's great electoral impulse to defeat Donald Trump.
Moncloa wants Jalloul to be the ideal complement for a leader who is committed to "moderation" in his speech against "right-wing populism" represented, in his opinion, by
the president of the Community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who in the PSOE resemble every day more to Donald Trump.
Jalloul claimed yesterday in his presentation, accompanied by Gabilondo and Franco, the "serious" government that the doctor in Metaphysics would lead, away from "tension", a "rebellious and young, nonconformist and cultural" Madrid.
"Madrid does not deserve to be hostage to extremism, it deserves a government
that acts for society," said Jalloul, who introduced the Rocío Carrasco case for the first time in the Madrid elections, highlighting her "courage"
and showing her that, like all "victims of gender violence will never be alone again."
Gabilondo, who called Jalloul a "leading woman, very left-wing and very feminist, academically brilliant", defended herself for the criticism received on Monday and yesterday from the PP and Vox after she assured that "with this Pablo Iglesias "Of the"
tension "will not agree after the elections and that it will not raise taxes if it comes to power.
"I have never lied to anyone," said a revitalized Gabilondo in this pre-campaign
, with a spirit that he only brings out when the election date approaches.
«I am dull, serious and formal.
I never imagined that the nets of the right would jump for saying 'with this [Pablo] Iglesias, no'.
The right wing has gone from 'everyone except Gabilondo' to 'everyone against Gabilondo'.
But am I not bland? ", Launched the PSOE candidate, who presented himself as the" loose verse "of the left.
His refusal to ally himself with the leader of Podemos even reached the press conference of the Council of Ministers, where, when asked about it, the Minister spokesman for the Government, María Jesús Montero, affirmed that Gabilondo has "absolute freedom" to decide his alliances according to wishes and estimated that it will not affect the functioning of the PSOE-United Podemos coalition Executive.
