Madrid, (EFE) Senate, Cristina Narbona, and Sánchez’s chief of staff in Moncloa, Óscar López.
In addition, the Secretary of State for Sport and former leader of the Madrid PSOE, José Manuel Franco, will foreseeably be the head of the party’s list for the Senate for Madrid, socialist sources have advanced to EFE.
The complete list of the PSOE for the Congress and the Senate for Madrid will be approved this Thursday afternoon by the Regional Executive Committee of the PSOE in Madrid and will be ratified on Saturday by the Federal Committee of the PSOE.
Sánchez heads the list to Congress with the third vice president and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, as number two, and the Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, as number four.
Two other ministers will occupy high positions: the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, will appear in position three, and that of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, in five.
Two of the big surprises are the incorporation of the vice president of the Senate and president of the PSOE, Cristina Narbona, as number six, and the former PSOE Organization Secretary and current chief of staff for Sánchez in Moncloa, Óscar López, as number seven.
Among the starting positions are two representatives of the Madrid PSOE who are currently national deputies: the president of the Madrid PSOE and general secretary of the socialist parliamentary group in Congress, Isaura Leal (eight); and the Secretary of State for Relations with the Courts and Constitutional Affairs, Rafael Simancas (nine).
In addition, the director of the Civil Guard and former government delegate in the Community of Madrid, Mercedes González, is ranked tenth and will have to resign from her current position before the lists are officially registered to be able to run in the elections.
In the previous general elections, in November 2019, the PSOE won eleven deputies for Madrid to Congress.
Other notable members of the PSOE list for the Madrid Congress on 23J are the acting mayor of Alcalá de Henares, Javier Rodríguez (eleven); the Secretary for International Policy and Development Cooperation of the Federal Executive of the PSOE, Hana Jalloul (twelve); and the LGTBI Secretary, Víctor Gutiérerz (thirteen).
For her part, the former socialist deputy in the Madrid Assembly and Óscar López’s chief of staff, Pilar Sánchez Acera, is in fourteenth place, followed by the current deputy Zaida Cantera; the Secretary of State for Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda and former mayor of Móstoles, David Lucas; and the acting mayor of Arganda del Rey, Guillermo Hita.
In the Senate, Franco will go as number one (since in the previous general elections Narbona occupied) and after him the acting mayor of Leganés, Santiago Llorente, and that of Moraleja de Enmedio, Valle Luna.
