• Elections Consultation of the polling station by DNI: how to know my polling station and in which table I have to vote

With the ballot boxes already ready, a final review of the program of the parties is clarifying for the undecided ballots or, at least, so that the faithful vote, of those who go to the polling station as to Sunday mass, is with knowledge of the facts. What are the essential promises? Which ones border on the occurrence of so original?

All for his homeland

Everyone brags about their own. In a literal sense Vox, which starts its program asking for the "suspension of Catalan autonomy until the unmitigated defeat of the coup", continues with the "illegalization of parties that pursue the destruction of the unity of the Nation" and ends with the "effective dismantling of ETA". From Madrid. But every party has its grail. Podemos-IU-Alianza Verde (hereinafter, Podemos) asks for a space of memory in the Casa de Correos, for its past as a torture center in the Franco regime; Más Madrid (MM), in its environmental commitment, announces a network of climate refuges; the PP is summarized in the economic: "Less taxes" and "regional center of digital hubs", and the PSOE will create an "Office against Corruption of the Community of Madrid".

In your house or mine

An unavoidable issue in the campaign after the approval of the first Housing Law of democracy, which Isabel Díaz Ayuso promised to appeal in the courts before her "next housing legislature": land law, Young Solution Plan, 45,000 affordable properties before 2027, added to the 204,000 of José Luis Martínez-Almeida in the new developments. The mayor promises evictions within 24 hours of the squats. Those that Vox would typify as a crime, with a "use of proportional force to defend the home." In the other corner, Mónica García and Alejandra Jacinto intend to reinforce the national norm with another regional Housing Standard, in addition to creating an Anti-Eviction Unit (MM) and a Public Housing Real Estate (Podemos), intervening in the rental price (both) or taxes on speculation (both). Juan Lobato seeks a regional and concrete pact with the construction of 250,000 social housing and with the reduction of rent by 300 euros / month.

Next station... 28-M

Where the people of Madrid spend half their lives, in transport, the PSOE promises a flat rate in the subscription of 30 euros / month and free for over 65 years; Ayuso, change the current system to two unique rates: the capital and the rest of the region, and MM offers a family pass of 15 euros on weekends. In addition, they plan to implement a regional bicycle service and Rita Maestre, fix "the botched Bicimad", which Roberto Sotomayor also criticizes, as "ineffective" and sending with a mesh network also pedestrian in all neighborhoods, and Begoña Villacís: "Given the bad result of the experiment of its gratuity", appeals to the symbolic payment. While Almeida will roll a circular owl of the EMT and Jacinto will regulate the VTCs. Ortega-Smith's leitmotiv: eliminate Madrid 360, the "Almeida deception".

Money, what do I want you for?

With the programs divided between two tax models, Ayuso proposes a Law for the defense of the taxpayer that "protects citizens from the excesses of the Tax Agency" and reduce income tax by half a point in all sections, seconded by Almeida, which will reduce the IBI to the legal minimum allowed (0.4%), a measure also proposed by Villacís. This adds the abolition of the capital gains tax and freezing municipal rates, a line that Vox follows. At the other extreme, the entire left advances modifications in the IRPF and an increase in taxes on the highest incomes, through inheritance and donation taxes and wealth and, in the case of MM and Podemos, they also point to rates for tourists. The PSOE joins the regulation of tourist housing. The right wants everyone to make do with their own and the left wants money to pay for what follows...

Of cabbages...

It quantifies the PP "13 new public educational centers", finish "the 20 that are underway" and expand "another 10". He does not hide his appreciation of the concerted and anticipates that he will have 15% more for his operation. The PSOE promises to "create 20 public vocational training centers" and all free, up to university, for families earning less than 35,000 euros a year. With Lobato, the centers would open from 7:00 a.m. to 19:00 p.m., except in August. Podemos advances the hiring of 12,000 teachers, very public, as it seeks to reverse the financing of the concerted. MM will plant bicycle parking in all schools, while, from the local to the global, eco slogan, aspires to reach 5.1% of GDP in Education, as if we were Europeans. Vox, for the purposes of indoctrination, applies its confessional bias: "Exclusion from the teaching of Islam in school."

... And hospitals

Podemos continues to do its thing: "Reverse privatizations and a public pharmaceutical marketer." It also announces an extra 10,000 toilets. All tend to dream figures in this section: with the PP, maximum of 90 days for the top 25 procedures on waiting lists; with the PSOE, there would be face-to-face care in health centers from 8:00 a.m. to 21:00 p.m.; with MM, 6,100 million in four years... The ideological also passes consultation: "Suppress interventions outside health", which is how Vox refers to abortion, and more gently, the PP guarantees "active support to the conceived and its mother", that is, that "before an unfavorable diagnosis for the baby", has "all the information about aid before making any decision".

Is no one a stranger?

The whole range in Madrid on immigration. From the purple Podemos, forceful in "accelerating the processes of regularization of migrants"; going through the "support" of MM "to migrant associations" and the recognition of all their rights; with mouth in the hard green Vox: "Deportation of illegal immigrants to their countries of origin" and "deportation of immigrants who are legally but who have relapsed into the commission of minor crimes". If the repeat offender is Spanish, there is nowhere to deport him. Even less after "raising an insurmountable wall in Ceuta and Melilla", which is also claimed.

Field on asphalt

There are also many antipodes in Environment. Vox focuses on protecting hunting and, opposite, MM calls for "calm skies", namely: "Replacement of traditional pyrotechnics by light shows or silent pyrotechnics" so as not to startle the animals. Ayuso's appeal to "every balcony in Madrid to have a floor" has been controversial, but it is in the program: "You help neighborhood communities, so that they can enjoy nature inside their homes taking advantage of rooftops and community patios." Podemos does not rest: "Empresa Pública de Energía Limpia Madrileña, para suministro de energía 100% renovables". The PSOE includes taking care of what has already gotten in the way of nature, such as abandoned train tracks.

Everything is (not) culture

It fits under this umbrella to have a Formula 1 Grand Prix (PP), reactivate the Municipal Radio (MM), promote Holy Week (Vox), reverse licenses of bookmakers (Podemos) or a plan for video game creators to use Madrid as a platform (PSOE).

Equality, or whatever you say

He will hang the LGTBI + flag again in the City Council with MM, with Vox there would be no gender change operations and Ayuso seems to have forgotten this issue in which he announced a reform, in competition with his (former) partner. To promote Equality, Podemos is encouraged to claim 5% of the budget for feminist policies, "chiringuitos", according to Vox. MM has patented the "telephone service for men in crisis" of masculinity. Lobato, with advisers who seem rather enemies, forgot an epigraph of feminism in his easy-to-read program, where only a generic "finding a solution to gender equality problems" appears, a purpose that extends to "Roma women", with only one specificity: benefits for those who hire victims of sexist violence. Although it also pursues an equality law. Ayuso does not speak of gender, but of "violence against women". Because every word matters to scratch the last vote to the neighbor.
