Irene Montero announces her candidacy for the presidency of the Government through open primaries

The MEP and former Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, officially launches herself into the race for La Moncloa, announcing that she will do so by contesting universal primaries, that is, "open to anyone who wants to run" and in which anyone who wishes can participate as a voter.

With a very emotional speech in which he has shuffled all the slogans of his training, Montero has advocated for "returning what was stolen" to the "super-rich", the "speculators" and has opted for a minimum wage of 1,800 euros, a 30-hour work week, lowering the price of energy, capping the price of food, promoting public services and conciliation policies and not spending "not one more euro on weapons."

Montero has insisted that "the system has to change and stop going against the people." "For this reason," he said, "I am going to run in the next general elections." "I want to be a candidate with primaries open to everyone, in which the entire team can be chosen by anyone who wants to participate and in which anyone who wants to run can be chosen."

Montero has not avoided attacking businessman Juan Roig, owner of Mercadona, in his speech; against the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; against the leader of Vox, Santiago Abascal, against the Banco de Santander and against Repsol, whom he has accused of being an example of the "terrifying" system in which we live and whose "rules", he has said, "are a theft."
