El partido de Mónica García exige liderar la lista por Madrid a las generales ante las opciones de Colau

The campaign of Mónica García is demanding to lead the list for Madrid in the general elections, ahead of alternatives proposed by Ada Colau. After the executive meeting of Más Madrid on Monday, the organization's co-director has insisted on Tuesday that their Madrid election list should be led by García and include members of their party.

Although her name has been mentioned frequently as a candidate for the Presidency, García faces internal resistance, especially from the autonomous deputy Emilio Delgado. This development comes just a day after a meeting of Comuns' direction, during which Colau was reportedly positioning herself as the aspirant for the presidency.

In an interview with La 2Cat, Colau stated that she was offered the leadership role of the Frente, but insists that "it's not about names."
