The feeling that someone talks about the physically real has been appreciated", explained Mónica García.

"Ayuso serves as a reference. I have shouted myself saying that if you vote divided, Sánchez stays. There is so much that unites us as people who do not like Sánchez's policies that there is only one thing to do: vote together so that Sánchez does not govern. An example is worth a thousand words. The example has come with Ayuso in Madrid, unity, with the concentration on one vote. All that concentration is what is needed, so there is no figure that overshadows", He has affirmed when asked about the shadow that Ayuso can cast on Pablo Casado. "I don't see any threat from Ayuso to Casado, I see two brothers from the same project," Maroto concluded.

He has lived at that speed the real possibility of replacing the PSOE, four general elections -always in decline-, a motion of no confidence in his name and another pushing Pedro Sánchez, access to La Moncloa, with the position of vice president -also frustration to see how little he commanded-, and the slam in Madrid, also fenced in the courts, of the 'Dina case' to the financing-management of the party.

Of course, he has defended that they are still elections in an autonomous community, thus trying to reduce national significance.

"There were elections in Madrid, and only in this community. It is a very important community, but it does not represent the whole of Spain, just as neither does the result of recent elections, as in Catalonia, where by the way the PP was left as the last force", he justified in an appearance in Ferraz without questions.

In this way, the PSOE publicly assumes the argument that they have been defending in the Government for days -as their forecasts worsened-, that it is not correct to interpret these elections in a national key. As they argue, the situation in Madrid does not occur in other territories, nor is the weight of Díaz Ayuso's PP the same in other Communities.
