PP picks Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo as second candidate on Madrid ballot

Alberto Núñez Feijoo selected Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo to occupy the second slot on the Partido Popular's Madrid ballot for the forthcoming general election. The decision, long anticipated, was revealed at a gathering in Jerez attended by local officials. Mayor María José García Pelayo described Álvarez de Toledo as the party's national voice and highlighted her criticism of one outlet socialist government.

In her remarks, Álvarez de Toledo called for confidence in the party's national reconstruction agenda, which rests on four pillars: reinforcing the state, securing borders, affirming national sovereignty, and fostering reconciliation among Spaniards. She framed the upcoming vote as a moral choice for the country.
