Más Madrid, the party that leads the opposition to Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP) in the Community of Madrid, is considering the signing of Carla Antonelli, a historic trans activist who was a PSOE deputy in the regional Assembly between 2011 and 2021, according to a spokesperson. of the party after considering its incorporation

.
"Right now I am not on any list," the former regional deputy, very close to the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, told this newspaper, which is why she has also been linked before with Podemos, and even with the Sumar platform, which promotes Vice President Yolanda Díaz.
"For Más Madrid it would be an honor to include Carla on the electoral list, within the framework of the commitment to open the candidacy to emblematic people from civil society and independents," says an official spokesperson for the party founded by Íñigo Errejón and Manuela Carmena in 2019. "But at the moment there is nothing closed or confirmed," he concludes.
Along the same lines, key charges from the progressive formation have been expressed, where absolute silence has been decreed around the electoral list with which García will compete with Ayuso for power, and with Juan Lobato (PSOE) for the leadership of the left in the Community of Madrid.
Antonelli left the PSOE in October 2022 as a protest against the party's position regarding the
trans law
, which was definitively approved in Congress this Thursday.
He then cited as the reason for his decision "the deep disappointment and emptiness with the procedure in the comprehensive trans and LGTBIQ + law."
At that time, the fifth extension in the processing of the rule had been decided, which then accumulated one delay after another.
Less than a semester later, Más Madrid is testing the reincorporation of the activist into politics, which would mean her return to the regional Assembly.
