The May 4 elections confirmed a palpable trend in the Community of Madrid since the pandemic: the opposition leadership had changed hands.

The PSOE was no longer the benchmark of the Madrid left because Más Madrid had displaced it until the

electoral

sorpasso was consummated.

And the majority of surveys for the next elections show that this trend remains firm, that Mónica García could continue to lead the Madrid left with a strategy focused especially on Health,

a discourse halfway between regionalism and environmentalism

and public services. .

But a fourth axis has been incorporated into this strategy

: the business fabric

.

In fact, for months, leaders of Más Madrid have been holding meetings and informative breakfasts with different industrial representatives from the automotive, energy, technology and pharmaceutical sectors.

The objective: "to show itself as a management party", "to demonstrate that the region can be transformed from a progressive point of view" and "that public-private collaboration can be symbiotic".

In short, try to broaden the electorate towards a field, that of companies, usually dominated by the right and

become "the PNV of Madrid"

, according to sources from the formation.

Thus, it can be explained, for example, that in the candidacy of Mónica García to lead Más Madrid , Alberto Oliver, a deputy in the Assembly, an industrial engineer by training

, linked to the industrial sector in its stage prior to politics

, has risen to number 4

and with experience in large companies such as El Corte Inglés.

"The movement is no coincidence, it is a commitment to delve into our economic and management profile," several people from Más Madrid acknowledge.

Because he is the one who usually accompanies Mónica García in meetings with businessmen to try to "eliminate the topic that confronts the left with the companies", they point out in the formation, where there

are also sectors critical of this movement.

"There are issues that should be more important to us," they say

.

But the management is clear that this must be the path to be able to aspire to compete with Isabel Díaz Ayuso in the region, whom the polls place close to the absolute majority.

In recent weeks, as EL MUNDO has been able to learn, Más Madrid

has met with representatives of Gestamp, Ikea, Iberdrola, Endesa, Stellantis -fusion of Fiat and PSA-

, the Spanish Association of Automotive Suppliers (Sernauto), the Association Spanish Automobile and Truck Manufacturers (Afac) or Engineering Technician.

What is this movement for?

«We have an impressive number of people between 30 and 40 years old in Madrid developing the most advanced levels of information technology and

the door is opening to new industrial sectors of the 21st century that politics does not speak

of, that need money bets public and that they are not associated with any political ideology because it is a very diverse fabric”, details a leader of Más Madrid.

Basically, a fishing ground for votes to be explored and in which Mónica García's team wants to fish before others do, using the theories of the Italian-American economist Mariana Mazzucato as an example.

In fact,

the intention that they have in Más Madrid is to continue delving into these informative breakfasts

in the final stretch of the legislature to have the ground won when the elections arrive, try to develop an economic office in which to address these issues and develop similar projects to the Autosur Pole, presented this year with the idea of ​​proposing a reindustrialization around the circular economy and electric automobiles in the South of the Community.
