Reyes Maroto, with a dropper: agrees with Lobato for one Madrid event a week while waiting to be released by Sánchez

• Protest Demonstration of taxis in Madrid against the new regulations prepared by the Community

Two months after (November 14) the candidacy of Reyes Maroto for mayor of Madrid became official... «We are a bit blind.

Let's see if Pedro Sánchez shows up”, socialist sources have been repeating, half jokingly, half seriously, through the corridors of Calle Mayor, 71 where the municipal groups are staying.

Yesterday, however, Reyes stormed the streets of Madrid.

It started at an informative breakfast with the format of Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, she was dropped (like the rest of the left-wing candidates) by the protest march of the taxi drivers in a candidate for the throne of Cibeles mode -"I get to her willingness to be a good interlocutor when she becomes mayor»- and closed the day at the Matadero, during the presentation of a video from Iberia, again with a ministerial profile.

His name floated for a while (as did

or

) as a real option to fight for the leadership of the left in the capital and to be a rival to Martínez-Almeida for the baton, but now it has become coordinator of the electoral campaign of the one chosen by Pedro Sánchez.

Both Reyes Maroto and

(face for the mayor of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) continue to combine the work of the ministry with the pre-electoral campaign.

"We know how Reyes Maroto is going to spend it, trying to twitch and confront," the mayor,

, launched last Wednesday .

«Between her and I there is a good personal relationship;

I hope it will be a clean and purposeful campaign », he confided.

Restlessness in Más Madrid

Más Madrid is also assailed by some concern.

Because the lack of punch and presence of the socialist candidacy (along with the controversial decisions of Pedro Sánchez) would be a blow to that hypothetical return of the left to the City Council of the capital.

Except for surprise, a return (according to all the polls) led a priori by the other progressive force.

The most voted in the city since 2015, with the coming to power of

"Our policy is more based on perseverance than on last-minute announcements," was the dart left by
