The activist Carla Antonelli is number five on the Más Madrid list

Antonelli abandoned the PSOE in october 2022 as a protest against the party's position regarding the trans law, which was definitively approved in the Congress in February. Then he cited as a reason for his decision "the deep disappointment and emptiness with the procedure in the comprehensive trans and LGTBIQ+ law".
«I am where they love me, where they respect me and where they also welcome you with open arms.", has declared Antonelli from the Chueca Square, accompanied by García and for number four on the municipal list of Más Madrid, Eduardo Fernandez Rubino.
