The leader of the radical left party Can and Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Pablo Iglesias announced today the surprise decision to leave the government to run in the Madrid regional elections.
“I will run in the May 4 elections in the Madrid region,” Iglesias confirmed in a video that was posted on social networking sites.
“I have conveyed (to the Prime Minister) Pedro Sanchez my decision to leave my post within the government when the election campaign begins,” he added.
Unidas Podemos party member and Labor Minister Yolanda Diaz will take over as deputy prime minister, he added in the video.
“Madrid needs a left-wing government and I believe I can be useful in helping to win and lead,” he said.
Campaigning begins in mid-April for Madrid elections, which erupted last week following the resignation of regional leader Isabelle Diath Ayusha, following clashes between her conservative People’s Party and the center-right Ciudadanos party.
