So it is stated in the candidacy registered by the purple formation and released this Wednesday in the BOE, where the social anthropologist María Laura Martín Chiappe appears as "number two" on that ballot, former head of cabinet of Irene Montero during her time at the head of the Ministry of Equality and currently her local assistant in the European Parliament.

In the field of cinema, his roles in "A los que aman" (1998), directed by Isabel Coixet, and in "Todo sobre mi madre" (1999), by Pedro Almodóvar, stand out.
