Marta Higueras Launches Independientes por Madrid for 2027 Municipal Race

The platform says it will focus solely on local management and collect citizen proposals to build a city program by late September.

Overview

  • Marta Higueras presented Independientes por Madrid on Monday, June 29, 2026, and published www.independientespormadrid.org to gather citizen proposals ahead of a program planned for late September.
  • Higueras frames the group as strictly municipal and non-party, saying it will not pursue regional or national ambitions and will avoid the national party 'blocks' that she says dominate city politics.
  • The platform lists housing, small business support and neighborhood security as priority areas and says it will approach them through pragmatic management and local agreements rather than partisan confrontation.
  • Higueras placed the initiative within a broader municipalist network she described as about 400 mayors and 8,000 councillors, a claim reported as her assertion and not independently verified.
  • The launch adds a new contender to a crowded left-leaning field in Madrid and could reshape coalition math for 2027 as Más Madrid, Sumar, Podemos, IU and an internally contested PSOE decide candidate strategies.
