MEMOCRACY 21: another sleight of hand from Spain's dying R78 Regime

Miriam González launches the party Democracia 21 and announces her candidacy for Prime Minister of Spain, promising to "fix it" instead of playing electoral games.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

Miriam González has launched Democracia 21, the party she will run with in the elections as she bids to become Spain's Prime Minister. In her speech she summed up her pitch in two words: "I'll fix it".

The lawyer **Miriam González** has presented **Democracia 21**, the party with which she is standing as a candidate for Prime Minister. The news was broken by **El País** through its account on the social network X, where it shared a video of the event. In it, González calls to "bring back two words, 'I'll fix it'", adding: "I find a problem and I don't play with it electorally, I simply fix it".

## A new party for an old problem
The launch of **Democracia 21** comes at a time when Spain's traditional parties are wearing thin. The party's name suggests a desire for institutional renewal, although the announcement does not yet detail its programme or the team that will accompany the candidate. González, known for her professional career in law and European affairs, thus enters Spanish politics with a message that appeals to direct management.

## The "I'll fix it" message
The phrase chosen as slogan —"I find a problem and I don't play with it electorally, I simply fix it"— marks a distance from the dynamics of partisan confrontation. It is a statement of intent that, however, does not specify which problems will be solved or how. The candidate puts the focus on action rather than electoral calculation, ground on which parties usually move with short-term interests.

## What is known about the candidacy
For now, it is unknown whether **Democracia 21** will run in all constituencies or what parliamentary support it would seek. The public launch of a candidacy for Prime Minister is not the same as a closed programme or a complete team. Spanish politics has seen new parties emerge quickly and disappear just as fast. On legal and electoral matters, always consult official sources before making decisions.
