Urban parties and emptied Spain fight to register young people in time for the electoral cycle

Every time the elections approach, a question runs through the conversations of progressive voters in big cities: “Are you registered here?” Más Madrid, the main opposition party in the Community of Madrid, has raised it in a recent campaign to students and other young people in the capital to promote voter registration and to prevent the vote of the youngest, a priori more likely to vote for the left, from going to the municipalities where these people no longer have an effective life in the next elections. The campaign, however, has irritated the localities of the so-called emptied Spain, whose financing depends, in part, on their registered inhabitants and who believe that these policies encourage uprooting.
