== Origins and election ==
<sup>++</sup>PP: Popular Party, center-right
[[File:Real Casa de Correos (Madrid) 01.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [[House of the Post Office|Royal Post Office]] is the current seat of the office of the President of Madrid]]
In the process of the democracy restoration in Spain between 1975&ndash;1978, the nationalist and [[Regionalism (politics)|regionalist]] parties pressed to grant [[home rule]] to parts of Spain. Finally, the [[Constitution of Spain|Constitution]] stated that any province or group of provinces could form an [[autonomous community]] and thus be granted partial home rule. The [[Madrid (autonomous community)|Autonomous Community of Madrid]] (Spanish ''Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid'') was created in 1982, and since then regional elections are held every 4 years.


The citizens of the [[Autonomous Communities of Spain]] do not elect a person for [[presidency]] of their community: but rather they elect the regional legislature, and that legislature elects the regional president. A candidate needs a [[majority]] (that is supposed to be loyal to him/her during the whole term) to be elected, but the top-voted party can be denied the right to form the government. This situation, though infrequent in nationwide elections, often happens in local/regional legislatures throughout Spain: the most usual coalition is between the [[Spanish Socialist Workers' Party|Socialist Party (PSOE)]] and the [[United Left (Spain)|United Left (IU)]].
<sup>+</sup>PSOE: Spanish Worker's Party, center-left


In Madrid, such a coalition was formed in the 2nd term, in which the incumbent Socialist [[Joaquín Leguina]] obtained the most vote but not a majority,<ref name="leguina2nd">In fact, even the PSOE-IU coalition was in the minority (47 seats) against the centre-right parties PP and CDS (49), which however could not reach an agreement to rule. Once they did, a situation similar to the [[#The 6th term scandal|6th term scandal]] arose, depriving those parties of the majority and allowing President Leguina to continue his minority government.</ref> once more in the 3rd term, allowing him to remain in office even after having obtained fewer votes than the [[People's Party (Spain)|People's Party (PP)]], and once more in the 6th term, by the PSOE candidate [[Rafael Simancas]]. However, this last coalition [[#The 6th term scandal|ultimately failed]] due to the dissidence of two PSOE [[Madrid Assembly|Assembly]] Members, which denounced the pact with IU as being too wide and unrepresentative of the people's will due to the planned power balance. Elections were repeated after a few weeks and Partido Popular won, then by absolute majority.
<sup>*</sup>IU: United Left (Spanish Comunist Party), left


Since then, the People's Party victories by absolute majority were repeated in 2007 and 2011's regional elections. After the resignation of President [[Esperanza Aguirre Gil de Biedma|Esperanza Aguirre]], nominally due to personal matters in late 2012, her deputy president [[Ignacio González (politician)|Ignacio González]] held the post. The People's Party obtained the most votes in 2015 but lost its absolute majority. Its candidate [[Cristina Cifuentes]] was invested president after an agreement with [[Citizens (Spanish political party)|Citizens]].
----
She was replaced by her deputy [[Ángel Garrido]] when she resigned after evidence of both a fake master's degree and petty shoplifting came out.

===Timeline===
5-25-2003 elections: PP won a plurality. PSOE + IU were 56, one more than PP was. Negotiations between PSOE and IU immediately took place. Some time later, a pact was achieved. The first step of that pact was on the Parliament Table (the parliament life regent organ). The plan was to elect 3 PP, 3 PSOE and 1 IU member, thus granting the majority to the left coalition.

But something was wrong. When, in the parliament constitutive session, the age president called for votation, 2 PSOE seats were empty: their owners did not enter the room. The result: 4 PP members against 2 PSOE and 1 IU guaranteed a PP majority on the Table.

Later, the "fled" deputies granted an interview on TV. They said they couldn't accept IU's conditions for a left-winged government in Madrid (which include IU controlling about 50% of the budget). PSOE immediately fired them, and blamed PP for bribing them. PP refused accusations and put a demand on the Supreme Madrid Justice Court (the higher madrilene justice instance before the Spanish Supreme Court) for calumnies, which was filed.

The two fled deputies, [[Eduardo Tamayo]] and [[María Teresa Sáez]] refused to return their seats to PSOE, and joined the Mixed Parliamentary Group, thus creating a very strange situation: there wasn't any majority. The president of the Parliament, [[Concepción Dancausa]] (PP) told she wanted to call for new elections, so PSOE candidate [[Rafael Simancas]] presented to a vote for investiture to force a 2 months delay (he said he didn't want to become elected).

In the meantime, a parlamentary comission investigated the causes of the "flee". After a month of 12-hour sessions, it approved a conclussion, saying Tamayo and Saez didn't have an economic cause to flee from parliament, and weren't bribed by PP. That conclussion was refused by the Plenary Session, by 55 votes YES (PP) and 56 votes NO (PSOE, IU and Mixed Group).

Then, new elections were called. Tamayo and Sáez created a new political party, New Socialism, but didn't obtain any seats. The new result was a majority for PP: 57 seats (48%, +2 seats), against PSOE: 45 seats (38%, -2 seats) and IU: 9 seats (8.5%, no change in seats). Some time later, PP candidate Esperanza Aguirre won the investiture vote and was named 3rd President of Madrid Autonomous Community.

The president of the Community of Madrid is the highest-ranking officer of the Autonomous Community of Madrid and the head of the executive branch. The office is currently held by Isabel Díaz Ayuso of the People's Party.

Origins and election

[edit]
The Royal Post Office is the current seat of the office of the President of Madrid

In the process of the democracy restoration in Spain between 1975–1978, the nationalist and regionalist parties pressed to grant home rule to parts of Spain. Finally, the Constitution stated that any province or group of provinces could form an autonomous community and thus be granted partial home rule. The Autonomous Community of Madrid (Spanish Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid) was created in 1982, and since then regional elections are held every 4 years.

The citizens of the Autonomous Communities of Spain do not elect a person for presidency of their community: but rather they elect the regional legislature, and that legislature elects the regional president. A candidate needs a majority (that is supposed to be loyal to him/her during the whole term) to be elected, but the top-voted party can be denied the right to form the government. This situation, though infrequent in nationwide elections, often happens in local/regional legislatures throughout Spain: the most usual coalition is between the Socialist Party (PSOE) and the United Left (IU).

In Madrid, such a coalition was formed in the 2nd term, in which the incumbent Socialist Joaquín Leguina obtained the most vote but not a majority,[1] once more in the 3rd term, allowing him to remain in office even after having obtained fewer votes than the People's Party (PP), and once more in the 6th term, by the PSOE candidate Rafael Simancas. However, this last coalition ultimately failed due to the dissidence of two PSOE Assembly Members, which denounced the pact with IU as being too wide and unrepresentative of the people's will due to the planned power balance. Elections were repeated after a few weeks and Partido Popular won, then by absolute majority.

Since then, the People's Party victories by absolute majority were repeated in 2007 and 2011's regional elections. After the resignation of President Esperanza Aguirre, nominally due to personal matters in late 2012, her deputy president Ignacio González held the post. The People's Party obtained the most votes in 2015 but lost its absolute majority. Its candidate Cristina Cifuentes was invested president after an agreement with Citizens. She was replaced by her deputy Ángel Garrido when she resigned after evidence of both a fake master's degree and petty shoplifting came out.

Once they did, a situation similar to the 6th term scandal arose, depriving those parties of the majority and allowing President Leguina to continue his minority government.
