The party Más Madrid has begun its primary process in Alcorcón, where two lists will compete to lead the formation. The municipal elections of 2027 mark the start of this internal contest.

The primaries of Más Madrid in Alcorcón have begun, marking the start of an intense competition between two lists seeking to lead the party in the upcoming municipal elections of 2027. The first candidacy, called ‘Alcorcón en marcha’, is led by Manuel San Pastor García, a lawyer specialising in housing and human rights. This proposal presents itself as a coral and assembly-based option, aligning with local social movements. San Pastor highlights the importance of a municipalist approach that involves the community in decision-making.

In second place is the list ‘Más Alcorcón, led by Trinidad Castillo, the current spokesperson for the party in the municipality. Castillo proposes to continue with the progressive project that has been developing since 2019, emphasising her commitment to green and feminist policies. This list includes prominent figures such as Diego Segovia Domínguez and Sara Pérez Ramos, who have been active members of the municipal government for almost four years.

Both candidacies reflect different visions of how Más Madrid should move forward in Alcorcón. While ‘Alcorcón en marcha’ seeks a more radical and participatory renewal, ‘Más Alcorcón’ aims to consolidate the achievements made so far. The diversity within the party could be key to attracting different sectors of the local electorate.

The deadline for submitting objections and rectifying issues related to the candidacies will be open until 23 June at 14:00 hours. This process is crucial for defining who will be the representatives competing for the mayoralty at the end of the electoral cycle.

The internal dynamics of the party not only influence its organisational structure but also its ability to mobilise voters in an increasingly competitive electoral landscape. In this sense, the municipal elections are seen as an opportunity to reaffirm or redefine the political identity of Más Madrid.

Historically, such internal processes have been decisive for political parties; for example, the PSOE primaries a few years ago led to a significant change in their leadership and electoral strategy. The current situation could replicate that phenomenon if any of the lists manages to garner sufficient support within the electorate.

Interested citizens can follow the development of these primaries through the party's official channels or attend informative events scheduled before the aforementioned deadline. With these elections rapidly approaching, both candidates and voters are preparing for what promises to be a contest full of debates about the local political future.
