New Spokesperson for PSOE in Madrid Faces Challenges

Mar Espinar has been appointed as the new spokesperson for the Socialist Group in the Madrid Assembly, succeeding Jesús Celada amid increasing political tension. With her political experience and close ties to key figures, she prepares to engage in challenging sessions against Ayuso and the PP.


At the XV Regional Congress of the PSOE in Madrid, 26 percent of the registered delegates did not support the new Madrid socialist executive. Mar Espinar was elected as the new spokesperson for the Socialist Group in the Assembly of Madrid, replacing Jesús Celada. Although she was not one of the most prominent figures of the Congress, she has been selected to confront Isabel Díaz Ayuso in the Assembly every Thursday.

Mar Espinar's arrival to the position has not been without controversy, as her election came at a time of political polarization and tensions within the party. Despite lacking the support of some leaders, Espinar is recognized for her ability to adapt to various circumstances and leaders of the Madrid PSOE.

Her parliamentary experience and skill in political debate have been highlighted by her colleagues. Despite not having the direct backing of important figures in the party, Espinar has proven to be a tireless worker and an effective fighter in the political arena.

Within the ranks of the PSOE, some describe her as a young, energetic, and prepared individual, capable of facing complex political challenges. Despite initial criticisms and doubts, Mar Espinar's election as spokesperson for the Socialist Group in the Assembly of Madrid responds to the need for a strong figure to confront the opposition and defend the party's interests in the current difficult political landscape.
