MADRID Manuela Carmena a former Spanish judge supported by a public platform composed in part by “outraged” will be the next mayor of Madrid, after an alliance with the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE) that It ends 24 years of power right into the capital.
“As a result have discussions with the PSOE for the investiture of Manuela Carmena,” he announced on Twitter the Madrid platform now. Its 20 councilors, nine socialist allies, have absolute majority in the municipal council of 57 members, allowing his inauguration, AFP quoted.
The center-right party Citizens had seven councilors and not enough to the conservative Popular Party (PP) an alliance with them to counter the pact between Madrid and socialists now.
Carmena will thus become, in a vote on Saturday after the constitution of the municipal council, the first candidate emerged from the “outraged” that governs a Spanish city, predictably followed within hours by activist Ada antidesahucios Colau in Barcelona.
The list now Madrid is “a rather unique case in Europe”, to concern a capital considered political scientist Fernando Mendez, researcher at the Center for Research on Direct Democracy University of Geneva.
It is unique because both the composition of the list as the program were developed within citizens’ assemblies held in Madrid from June 2014, before being validated by the vote of more than 15,000 people Internet.
The future municipal councilors who will lead this city with 16% unemployment and strong social contrasts come from neighborhood associations, groups and leftist parties as we, Equo (ecologist left) and United Left (ecologists Communist).
Three-month blockade
The socialist leader Susana Diaz was inaugurated Thursday as president of the regional government of Andalusia almost three months after winning the election, due to long negotiations to reach a deal with Spanish pop formations.
The PSOE clearly won the elections held on March 22 in the most populated region of Spain, but needed the support of one of the two new political parties, we can or Citizens, to form a government.
Diaz failed in three votes to which he was subjected in the Andalusian regional parliament to be inaugurated as president, as none of the other parties supported it.
Finally, PSOE and Citizens agreed to re-election.
