The electoral cyclone that the PP of Madrid became yesterday with the double absolute majority of Isabel Díaz Ayuso and José Luis Martínez-Almeida has completely devastated the traditional fiefdoms of the left in Madrid. Neither at the regional level nor in the municipal terrain of the capital the areas where the left sustained its power are still in their hands, all are dyed blue although the PSOE resists in several municipalities.

Already in the 4-M Ayuso had swept the red belt of the southern zone despite the dominance of the PSOE in the municipal thanks to its mayors. Yesterday, far from that dominance being reduced, it continued to grow in each and every one of those squares except for San Fernando de Henares, with the neighbors affected by Metro Line 7B, where the PP was still the most voted force.

One of the largest increases, and the most paradigmatic for being the bastion of the left in Madrid, was achieved by the regional president in Rivas with a growth of 6.9%, going from 34.05% of the votes in 2021 to 36.4% yesterday. Even greater was the rise in Getafe (10.98%) where 37.79% of the votes went to the sack of the popular. The same happened in Arganda del Rey (48.37% and +3.8%), Coslada (39.7% and +5.71%), Alcalá de Henares (44.04% and +3.42%) or Pinto (40.7% and +2.13%).

In the municipalities most rooted in the PSOE, the growth of Ayuso was also seen. In Parla it rose by 7.2% to 36.42%; in Leganés, by 4.97% to reach 37.39%; in Alcorcón, by (6.16%) that drives the PP to 43.42%, and in Móstoles, by 4.54% to stand at 42.76%. Even in Fuenlabrada, where the PSOE has always governed and Javier Ayala has managed to maintain an absolute majority, Ayuso (1.1%) to be the most voted force with 36.35%.

In some of those places such as Leganés, Arganda or Móstoles the PP will also have options to take over the City Council through pacts with Vox or with independent parties.

The same scene has been repeated in the city of Madrid, where the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, has replicated Ayuso's scenario in the 4-M, almost doubling his 2019 results. The councilor has won in all the districts of the capital and has dynamited all those in which he had won in the previous elections More Madrid and the left had always become strong. Especially in the south.

The great example are the two districts that make up the Vallecas conglomerate. In Villa, the mayor has grown by 167.2%, going from 12.5% of votes to 33.44%. The same situation has occurred in the Bridge, where Almeida started from 11.92% of the last municipal. Yesterday it reached 26.52% to be the most voted force, an increase of 122.5% in four years.

The rest of the southeast flank of the city, always with worse socioeconomic conditions and more inclined to the left, has remained in that same trend of absolute turn towards the blue of the PP. In Usera the first mayor has shot up to 32.76% (+ 106.1%); in Carabanchel, to 37.49% (+ 88.2%); in Latina, to 39.42% (+ 70%); in Moratalaz, to 40.62% (+77.14%), and in Hortaleza, to 51.31% (+112.46%).

With these results in less politically related areas, the results of the councilor have skyrocketed in the district with a center-right sociological vote. In Salamanca, Almeida has exceeded 60% and in Chamberí it has gone above 55%.
