Lawyer Miriam González launches new centrist party Democracia 21 for upcoming election
Miriam González, a lawyer, will run with the newly formed party Democracia 21 in the 29-N elections, presenting a reformist, centrist and liberal platform.
Lawyer Miriam González has decided to enter the 29-N ballot as a candidate for the brand-new party Democracia 21, which will debut in Madrid and Barcelona. The party describes itself as reformist, centrist and liberal, aiming to dismantle entrenched clientelism that, in its view, hampers economic modernization. Its programme includes a decade-long housing strategy with legal certainty, zero taxes on housing for young people, and a request to channel unused EU resources toward affordable homes.
González also calls for a professionalised public administration, reduced political patronage, and stronger investment in infrastructure to raise productivity. Additionally, she advocates for a fiscal approach that eases pressure on citizens while preserving public service quality. The party seeks consensus on major issues and wants to move away from confrontational politics.
How the sides frame it
LOW AGREEMENTCentrist coverage reports the party’s launch and its reformist platform, while right-leaning coverage questions the party’s substance, calling its programme vague and its website mere marketing.
CENTER
Centrist coverage presents Democracia 21’s self-described reformist, centrist and liberal agenda without critique.
RIGHT
Right-leaning coverage frames the party as offering only rhetoric, labeling its platform vague and its website pure marketing.
The right emphasises
- claims British-style liberalism but offers no concrete program
- website described as pure marketing with no substantive policy document
- lists traditionally British liberal measures that are missing from the party’s agenda
