Óscar López has announced his candidacy for the secretary general of the PSOE in Madrid, aiming to counteract the influence of Isabel Díaz Ayuso's "trumpism.
" López, with a strong leftist stance, seeks to energize the progressive electorate in a region dominated by the right since 1995. He emphasizes the need for collective action to increase voter turnout, particularly in areas with low participation.
Ayuso, however, dismisses López as a mere "errand boy" for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, accusing him of being sent to disrupt Madrid.
Despite Ayuso's criticism, López is determined to bring change, leveraging his extensive experience in Spanish politics.
His candidacy is seen as a bold move to revitalize the PSOE in Madrid, with no expected rivals for the upcoming vote.
