Everyone on the Madrid left looks askance at Yolanda Díaz.

Well, actually there are also those who look at her, sighing because she returns their gaze, complicit.

Any small gesture from the Second Vice President of the Government and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, who has been handling her political destiny with secrecy and temper, is welcome in any of the political groups closest to her doctrine.

In this case, Más Madrid and Unidas Podemos.

The order doesn't matter.

Both groups are aware that her irruption in the campaign could be vital, but also that, right now, Díaz's intentions do not go through taking sides.

Or maybe yes.

Only she knows, although any decision will be after February, the deadline for the process of listening to her project Sumar de ella.

Everyone on the Madrid left looks askance at Yolanda.

Also the PSOE, whose impact could unbalance more than one ballot, distancing voters from its area of ​​influence.

From that of

Juan Lobato

and

Reyes Maroto

.

But everyone in this fast-paced electoral campaign is navigating between conjectures and doing their numbers without counting on her.

Among other things, because Yolanda herself has already dropped that she would not participate in this municipal and regional cycle.

An appointment of 28-M that takes on special importance in Madrid, both in the City Council and in the Community.

"We want the best for Yolanda, that she be as free as possible to develop her project. It is a benchmark for Spain, as we are for Madrid. A victory of ours in Madrid would be very good for Yolanda", they slipped yesterday from Más Madrid, the formation headed

by Mónica García

and

Rita Maestre

.

They usually stage their tune, as with that joint photo at the last San Isidro festivities or with the presence of the Galician at the presentation of García's book.

There are many more.

Just a week ago, during an interview with EL MUNDO, Rita Maestre herself spoke about that link between Más Madrid and the second vice president of the Government.

"Both Mónica and I have a very good relationship with Yolanda Díaz. Apart from her willingness to listen, I really like that she talks about specific measures and moves away from theories. That makes her a very interesting politician," the candidate pointed out. to the City Hall of the capital.

In any case, as they assure from the formation, there is not the slightest concern that, if the case arises, due to his affiliation with the PCE and his proximity to Izquierda Unida, he could put his face to give a push to Unidas Podemos in the coming elections.

"It can generate illusion"

"We don't have her, although it might be a surprise. It would undoubtedly be a boost for us, although we have no idea what she will do," they admit from the purple group, whose top priority is to gain a foothold in the Plenary session of the City Council where now they do not have representation.

That is the main challenge of the former professional athlete and candidate for the Palacio de Cibeles

Roberto Sotomayor

.

Well, in the Assembly they have 10 seats that allow them to have a space that, for example, Citizens have not had since the last regional elections of 2021. The candidate for the Community for May 28,

Alejandra Jacinto

, also shows a good connection with Yolanda.

The autumn attacks of

Pablo Iglesias

seem to have healed.

But why would the appearance (which nobody expects) of the Minister of Labor in the campaign be so important?

"She can generate enthusiasm and hope for the left. Her presence could motivate or mobilize people on the left to go to the polls," they say from UP, where they are still unclear on the nomenclature with which they will appear in the elections. .

Izquierda Unida is still in the process of primaries (with January 29 as the deadline) and the packaging of that political idea that they will try to defend before the electorate will depend on those results.

Mystery and intrigue have been surrounding Yolanda for months, considered by both groups as an example for progressivism.

"Right now they are all hypotheses," say those who aspire to have her favor.

Because a simple gesture of yours can change her destiny.

That is why everyone on the Madrid left looks at her askance.
