Ione Belarra, the secretary general of Podemos, has announced her candidacy for the upcoming regional elections in the Community of Madrid, scheduled for May 2027. This decision comes amid a strategic move by the party to regain political influence after failing to secure representation in the Assembly of Madrid during the 2023 elections. In her statement, Belarra expressed strong opposition to the current president of the region, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, whom she described as an "insufferable bad person." Her declaration was made during the Spring Festival of Podemos, held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, where the party focused on reigniting street protests and mobilizing support through demonstrations and strikes.
The announcement marks a significant moment for Podemos, which currently lacks parliamentary representation in Madrid due to its low vote share in the previous election—only 4.7%. The party did not meet the threshold required to gain seats under the regional electoral law, leaving it without any presence in the Assembly of Madrid. This situation has forced Podemos to reconsider its strategy, particularly given the recent setbacks in other autonomous communities such as Andalusia, Castilla and León, and Aragon, where the party also failed to maintain its parliamentary foothold. The exception remains Extremadura, where Podemos, in alliance with IU, managed to retain its positions and even gained additional seats.
Belarra's decision follows a similar path taken by former Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias in 2021, when he left his position as second vice president of the government to run for the presidency of Madrid. Although Iglesias' campaign helped Podemos achieve a 7.2% vote share and 10 seats, it ultimately failed to prevent the Popular Party from securing an absolute majority or to challenge Más Madrid, which emerged as the leading opposition force with nearly 17% of the votes. Despite this, Iglesias' efforts marked a turning point for Podemos, allowing the party to reorganize and eventually hand over leadership to Belarra.
In her speech, Belarra emphasized the need for a stronger ideological push within the progressive bloc, criticizing both the PSOE and Más Madrid for their perceived lack of ambition. She argued that the PSOE had only offered "fourth-rate candidates" in the region and that Más Madrid felt comfortable leading the opposition. Belarra expressed frustration with the current state of affairs, stating that she was determined to fight for all Madrilenians and the future of her children. Her message resonated with many supporters who feel disillusioned with the existing political landscape.
The timing of Belarra’s announcement is crucial, especially considering the new electoral laws enacted in 2024, which require alternating men and women on candidate lists. This rule could have limited Belarra’s chances of securing a seat if she had run in the national elections alongside Irene Montero, the party's current candidate. By focusing on the regional elections instead, Belarra avoids this potential obstacle and increases her prospects of gaining a seat in the Assembly of Madrid.
The move also highlights the internal dynamics within Podemos, as several regional leaders have stepped down or faced challenges in maintaining their positions. For instance, Miguel Ángel Llamas recently resigned as the coordinator of Podemos in Castilla and León, just one year into his tenure. His departure underscores the difficulties the party faces in retaining influence in various regions, especially following the loss of its last representative in Castilla and León during the March 2026 elections. These developments indicate a broader struggle for Podemos to adapt and recover from its declining political fortunes.
As the 2027 elections approach, the focus will shift to how effectively Belarra can rally support and reshape Podemos' image. With the party aiming to reclaim its place in the regional parliament, the coming months will be critical in determining whether this strategy succeeds or further weakens Podemos' standing in Spanish politics.
