González Durántez presents his candidacy for the 29-N elections with Democracia 21

The leader of Democracy 21, Miriam González Durántez, presented this afternoon in Madrid her political project with which she intends to compete in the general elections of March 29 in only two constituencies, Madrid and Barcelona.

The centrist liberal initiative promoted by González Durántez, which tries to challenge the politics of the classic parties, defends a thorough reform of the system that, in its opinion, does not respond to the needs or efforts of citizens.

This was the center of her speech in the presentation of the candidacy that she has been forced to launch after the call for early elections. González Durántez has assured that the party's purpose is to compete in all the constituencies of Spain but that, in this first electoral appointment precipitated by President Pedro Sánchez last Monday, they will only do so in the constituencies of the two main cities in Spain.

Durántez has been especially critical of the confrontation of blocs that characterizes Spanish politics today. "We must recover the illusion, we must give each other a vote of confidence. We must believe again" in politics.

González Durántez is a Spanish lawyer, born in a town in the province of Valladolid, in 1968, who lived for many years in Great Britain where she married another liberal politician, Nick Clegg, who was deputy prime minister of Great Britain, for five years, between 2010 and 2015, during the presidency of the conservative David Cameron.
