  • Election result Isabel Díaz Ayuso knocks out Pedro Sánchez and the PSOE loses the leadership of the left

The 4-M leaves a difficult digestion in the PSOE. The impact of the hit suffered in the

Community of Madrid

, losing

13 seats

and

270,000 votes

, and ceasing to be the leader of the opposition after the

surprise

of Más Madrid, was never imagined either in the socialist leadership or in the Government. The Socialists are now drawing a 'sanitary cordon' to Madrid, arguing that they are only regional elections, but the wound is bleeding: "We have suffered a defeat that we did not expect."

The numbers leave no doubt.

The PSOE campaign in Madrid, supervised from

La Moncloa

by Pedro Sánchez's team, has not achieved its objective and has not mobilized its electorate.

Failure generates concern in the party.

Different sources consulted by this newspaper explain that the role and strategy that the PP now assumes at the national level will be decisive.

Also for the socialists, who are striving to contain what happened in Madrid to this region, striving so that there is no collateral damage.

"With total clarity, the PSOE of Madrid, and in these elections of Madrid, has had an unambiguous defeat", has exposed the first vice president of the Government, Carmen Calvo.

PSOE and Government try to contain the troubled waters of Madrid.

That it does not overflow and the waterways expand.

This effort to contain and limit the perimeter of the subsidence also contains the background of shielding the Prime Minister.

Pedro Sánchez and his team have had an active and direct implication in the campaign, from the strategy or messages, to even the making of the list, something that created unrest in sectors of the Madrid socialists.

The Moncloa strategists co-directing the campaign, and the president of the Executive with a very active role, especially in the pre-campaign, where he even questioned the Madrid Covid data.

With the passage of the campaign, Sánchez's presence was diluted.

The PSOE, at the national level, marked distances coinciding with the polls that predicted its defeat.

Yesterday, Ángel Gabilondo assumed defeat in a photo without the presence of the national leadership.

The sources consulted do not foresee that the defeat of the left in Madrid - with PSOE and United We can very touched - and the departure of Pablo Iglesias from politics, will have effects on the coalition government.

At least in the short term.

Both PSOE and United We Can are focused on finishing the vaccination process in order to make European funds profitable before citizens.

"Our defeat is there and we will move forward as we have always done, with reflection and criticism of what we have been able to do wrong and with a lot of work," was Calvo's reflection.

For now, the executive of the Madrid Socialists is meeting this Wednesday, while the Federal Executive with Pedro Sánchez at the helm plans to do so on Thursday.

The position of the Government, and therefore of the PSOE, is that the Madrid campaign has been marked by the speech imposed by Isabel Díaz Ayuso and that the circumstances, the profile of the electorate and the DNA of the Madrid PP "cannot be extrapolated."

The Socialists focus on the Madrid president to try to limit the damage to Madrid.

Calvo, even before participating in an act of homage to the Spanish victims of Nazism together with the Minister of Transport, José Luis Ábalos, has warned that "fascism" sometimes arrives "disguised" with the flag of freedom.

A mention reminiscent of Ayuso's campaign slogan: "Libertad".
