Politics The PSOE challenges Ayuso's candidacy for including Toni Cantó, registered after the deadline
4-M.Díaz Ayuso accepts that Toni Cantó goes from number five on his list to the elections
The Provincial Electoral Board of Madrid maintains Toni Cantó in the candidacy of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
The PSOE had denounced his "ineligibility" as a member of the PP list of the Community of Madrid for the May 4 elections for not having registered on time in the regional census, but the body that arbitrates the electoral period has not ruled against.
The decision has been reflected in an agreement signed this Monday by the president of the provincial board, as EL MUNDO has learned from sources within the organization.
The Board has agreed to "stick to" the agreement to "rectify defects" of the PP's candidacy that it adopted last Saturday.
In other words, the Provincial Board maintains the candidacy of Isabel Díaz Ayuso as it is, with Toni Cantó and
Agustín Conde
(former mayor of Toledo) in their respective original positions, despite the controversy due to their late registration.
But the resolution of the Provincial Electoral Board recalls that its agreement is effective, without prejudice to the "contentious administrative appeal" that the PSOE could bring against the agreement to proclaim the PP's candidacy.
The application "meets the requirements"
It should be remembered that this Tuesday the publication of the definitive lists will be ordered in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid.
Asked in this regard, PP sources assure that the candidacy "complies with all the legal requirements established in the electoral regulations, having corrected the deficiencies in the voluntary correction period", as required by the Electoral Board.
Article 4 of the Madrid Electoral Law ensures that "those who aspire to be proclaimed candidates and are not included in the lists of the electoral census in force referring to the territory of the Community of Madrid may be, provided that with the request they prove, in such a way reliable, that they meet all the conditions required to do so ".
In other words, there is a normative safeguard that allows Cantó and Conde to appear.
