A new party is born ahead of the general elections on November 29. The lawyer Miriam González presented this Saturday in Madrid Democracia 21, her political project with which she intends to seduce centrist voters. The initiative, which was registered in the party registry at the end of June, was born as a "reformist, ambitious and strategic" project that is aimed at "modernizing Spanish democracy."

This is assured by those in charge, all of whom have entered politics from different professional sectors. Chaired by González, a lawyer specialized in international trade, the party aims to "recover the integrity of the political system and place the citizen at the center." As they have explained, it is the diagnosis of current democracy that has led them to decide to form a new political project: "Inefficiency, clientelism, bureaucracy and political nepotism are suffocating the country's talent."

For this reason, Democracia21 was born with the main objective of "defending democracy" and "bringing the country into the next century." "Democracy21 was born with the aim of presenting an alternative to traditional parties and with the clear objective of regenerating democracy, returning politics to its public service function and putting on the table solutions to citizens' problems, with a serious strategy for the future of the country and young people," they detail.

In the presentation, González criticized both the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the leader of the opposition, Alberto Núñez Feijoo, whom he blamed for the difficulties of middle-class families in buying a house or for young people in renting. For this reason, he has proposed reducing all housing taxes for those under 35 years of age, to prevent the State from enriching itself with its citizens.

Among other proposals, González has also urged the depoliticization of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ) of the parties that control it and of the politicized associations of judges, in addition to defending that the public prosecutor's office responds to Parliament, "and not to the President of the Government."

Likewise, Democracy 21 demands the creation of specialized corruption courts, the elimination of indictments, cutting party subsidies and limiting all mandates to two. González explained that the formation has a "national vocation" and that it intends to present itself in all the provinces to end the current division of two blocks between right-left and PP-PSOE.
