The PP has also announced that Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo and Sémper will serve as the second and third-ranking members of the PP in Madrid. The Socialist Party (PSOE) has responded, asserting that they will participate in all electoral debates, while criticizing the PP for deciding matters of timing and media channels.
