Ayuso y Almeida preparados para elecciones clave contra la decadencia y la inmoralidad.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, president of the Community of Madrid and PP candidate for re-election, and José Luis Martínez-Almeida, Mayor of Madrid and mayoral candidate for the PP on May 28th, kicked off the electoral campaign with a festive event in the heart of the Salamanca district, where they claimed that these elections are "fundamental" in order to stop the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and "decay" and "immorality."

The event began around 7 pm in the Plaza de Felipe II with a concert by Metro Pop, which played hits such as "La Flaca" to an enthusiastic crowd waving national flags as well as blue flags with the logo of the PP and flags from South American countries. The plaza gradually filled up to reach its capacity of nearly 1,500 attendees. There was also a food truck with the face of the president of the Madrid PP.

The candidates appeared to applause and the well-known campaign song "Ganas" (Desire). Martínez-Almeida called himself part of the "army" of the PP that will help Madrid continue to experience its "magical, unique" moment. He made this statement during the party's campaign kick-off rally in the Plaza Felipe II, the PP stronghold, in front of a thousand attendees.

The mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, was also in attendance and referred to the PP as an "inspirational" and "powerful" political party that "fights for people, listens to people and likes people." Regarding Ayuso, he described her as an "unusual politician" and a "phenomenon," while he praised Almeida's "empathy" and "ability to be with people." He then stated, "I think I have seen so many politicians in Europe, and you two are an invincible duo."

Martínez-Almeida criticized "such an authoritarian government, a president capable of crossing any limit," and called for "a clear message to be sent from the capital of Spain: the time of Sanchezism is ending." He lamented that "there is a lot of desire for the urns to burst with votes for the PP, for Isabel Díaz Ayuso as president, and for the mayor. There are a lot of desires to serve Madrid and to serve Spain from Madrid."

He predicted an "overwhelming victory" that he would dedicate to the president of the Center for Sociological Research (CIS), José Félix Tezanos, "to see if he stops playing with everyone's money and taking the piss once and for all."

Ayuso called for high participation and cautioned against complacency, citing the importance of the elections and how what happens in Madrid will resonate throughout Spain. She believes that these elections "will change the course" of a country that cannot afford "more decay, more immorality, more poisoned inheritance, or so much moral misery." "We cannot allow Spain to continue with this decay... Spain needs Madrid, and Madrid needs Spain. That is why we have this fundamental role, and we can never bow our heads to terrorism, nationalism, separatism, or so much moral misery. We can't allow it, and Madrid will be there for all of Spain," she insisted.
