The deputy spokesperson for the Federal Executive Commission, Enma López, has confirmed to 'El País' her intention to run in the PSOE primaries to be a candidate for Mayor of Madrid, in a process where the current municipal spokesperson, Reyes Maroto, will also compete.
López is not a newcomer to municipal politics; her name has been mentioned repeatedly as one of the great bets of Madrid socialism. In 2023, she ran for the City Council as 'number three' on Maroto's list and served as coordinator of that candidacy. A year later, Pedro Sánchez appointed her federal secretary of Economic Policy for the PSOE, and in 2025 she also assumed the Deputy Spokesperson for the party.
For her part, Maroto has reiterated on several occasions her desire to repeat as a candidate. After assuming the General Secretariat of the PSOE in the city of Madrid, she has argued that her experience in the municipal sphere supports her to continue leading the electoral project. "Undoubtedly, these three years have given me experience in the local sphere and knowledge," she expressed the last time she publicly confirmed her intention to run in the primaries.
According to sources from the Madrid Federation, in statements to 'Europa Press', the move has generated internal surprise and is considered "hasty."
