The Minister of Health, Mónica García, has confirmed that she will not be part of the Frente Amplio candidacy for the general elections on November 29. Instead, she will continue her political career focused on Más Madrid, the party with which she will run as a candidate in the regional elections scheduled for May 2027.
In statements collected by the newspaper 'El País', the Minister of Health explained that she has chosen to step away from the Frente Amplio list after a "deep reflection" and prioritizing "the common good over personal interest."
The number one candidate of the coalition in the Madrid constituency will be the deputy spokesperson of Más Madrid in the Assembly, Emilio Delgado. For her part, García supports that the second position on the list be occupied by national deputy Tesh Sidi, whom she considers "one of the profiles that can represent Más Madrid in the coalition and unite more wills of the progressive electorate," as she has pointed out.
In the context of the negotiations to articulate Frente Amplio, Más Madrid had initially proposed that Emilio Delgado lead the list for Madrid to Congress and that, subsequently, the Minister of Health, Mónica García, would appear. This same proposal from the regional party included other names, among them Tesh Sidi and the deputy spokesperson of the party in the Madrid City Council, Eduardo Rubiño. In the Barcelona constituency, the Frente Amplio candidate for the Presidency of the Government will be Ada Colau.
