The electoral debacle suffered by Ciudadanos on May 28 in the double date with the polls, municipal and regional, has given the last straw to the party. According to the newspaper abc and has been able to confirm this wording from management sources, in July the formation will leave its national headquarters at Calle de Alcalá 253 in Madrid, an imposing six-story building, to move to one of the first floors of an office building of the Calle Príncipe de Vergara 109, in the Salamanca district.

The sources consulted have not specified the cost of the new rent, they have simply commented that “obviously it is much cheaper”. For the Sales headquarters they paid more than 25,000 euros monthly.
The transfer was already planned due to the decrease in income that the party is suffering after the successive electoral defeats, which have led to a gradual decrease in institutional subsidies. This new situation had already forced the formation to close numerous offices in provincial capitals and to carry out various “temporary readjustments”.
On this occasion, they will also have to undertake new layoffs, as the same sources admit to elDiario.es. This is how they have already let the staff of the house know, who this Wednesday received the news with sadness and evident anxiety and concern.
The political and economic situation in which the party has remained after 28M has also forced the new leadership headed by Patricia Guasp and Adrián Vázquez to make the decision not to run in the next general elections on July 23 of this year, which has triggered a strong internal crisis in the party.
