Mónica García resigns from the Broad Front lists and resumes her role as candidate against Ayuso in Madrid

Mónica García takes a step back and renounces running for Madrid on the lists of the Frente Amplio to Congress. The Minister of Health thus resumes her role as Más Madrid candidate for the regional elections in May, in which she will face Isabel Díaz Ayuso, after having been on the verge of being the alliance's candidate for the Presidency of the Government. Something that has not happened because Ada Colau changed her mind and dared to present herself.

What was going to be his position as number two in the Madrid candidacy will be occupied by Tesh Sidi, as reported by El País and confirmed by EL MUNDO. The politician of Sahrawi origin thus gains a priority and extremely important place on the Madrid list, consolidating the ascending role that it has been playing in recent times. He will spearhead the Community of Madrid in a candidacy that will be led by Emilio Delgado as number one.

"I have always understood politics from generosity and empathy. I have always put the common good before personal interest," said Mónica García in a message on her Telegram channel, where she announced her resignation.

Her words implicitly allude to the fact that she first renounced the candidacy for the Presidency in favor of Colau and that, later, she made way for Emilio Delgado, her main rival within Más Madrid, to assume number one ahead of her. All of these changes occurred in an internal battle within Frente Amplio to see who occupied the main positions and where the former mayor of Barcelona appeared. For Más Madrid, it was a priority for the party to lead the Madrid constituency as the main territorial force of the coalition partners.

The Minister of Health did not intervene last Saturday in the official presentation of the Frente Amplio in the capital, in an event in which those who will be the most prominent candidates in this space gave speeches. This sparked suspicions that this outcome could occur, although it has not been made public until now. At that event, García remained in the background, sitting in the front row with other party leaders who will not be candidates either and who did not speak. On the other hand, Tesh Sidi had a leading role because she served as presenter.

"Politics has never been a matter of just one person. It is done with many hands, building bridges and putting everyone's interests first. That's how Más Madrid was born and that's how we continue, with the same enthusiasm, wherever we need it most," García explained about the decision.

The Minister of Health has defended that Tesh Sidi "is now the best reference to occupy second place in the candidacy for Madrid" and has stressed that she has been "demonstrating" this in Congress during these years. "It is an honor to walk by your side."

Finally, García highlighted that there are many people waiting for "a project that will give them back their desire." "We are here for those people," he stressed.

Sources from the Más Madrid management remember that García won the primaries to be the Más Madrid candidate for the Assembly and that there are no changes in that sense, so it continues to be the Madrid party's commitment to promote change in the Community of Madrid.
