• Politics Genoa seeks the support of four Ayuso advisers in the middle of a dispute for control of the PP in Madrid

The former president of the Community of Madrid Ángel Garrido is in talks with the PP for his reentry in the after-military party for more than two years in Ciudadanos (Cs). As EL MUNDO has learned, the Genova street national leadership sees fit to allow him to re-affiliate, although it remains to be determined what role he would have in the party's structure.

"Until Garrido returns,"

they boast in the PP.

Garrido was a transport advisor in the first coalition government of both center-right formations chaired by Isabel Díaz Ayuso within the quota of the

orange

formation

. In April 2019 he withdrew from the PP to join the ranks of Cs after the current head of the Puerta del Sol Executive was elected headliner of the

popular

for the regional elections of that year.

In the surroundings of Garrido they do not confirm that there has been a formal request for re-entry, but they do point out that he maintains a "huge affection" for the party for the PP, in which he retains "many friends." Likewise, they point out that he now exercises a "private professional activity" and that, although he joined,

"he has no intention of returning to active politics

.

"

After the announcement of the early elections of the past 4-M, which led to the expulsion of Cs from the Madrid Assembly after being left without representation, Garrido reported that he was leaving politics in the face of

"polarization", "tension" and "radicalism

"current" and his "inability" to adapt to the new scenario. Now he could return to the party in which he was a member for 28 years.

In the PP they found out about the march of his Cs march when they saw the press conference in which he announced it together with the then

orange

leader

in Madrid, Ignacio Aguado.

Genoa then had to modify its electoral list to the European Parliament, since Garrido had agreed to run as

number four

after the election of Ayuso as a candidate for the Madrid Presidency, the position he really wanted.

Garrido, for his part, learned of his

dismissal as a possible candidate

to revalidate his mandate at the head of the Executive of the Government of Sol when the news reached the media while he waited at the door of the office of the president of the PP, Pablo Casado , for him to officially communicate what his future would be in the party.

The possible return of the

popular

turncoat

occurs in the midst of an internal struggle for the presidency of the PP in Madrid.

To Ayuso's candidacy could be added that of the mayor of Madrid and national spokesman for the

popular

, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, who does not rule out running for the regional congress, while in Genoa they are betting on a "third way" to prevent the regional president from accumulating excessive power.
