Manuela Bergerot Uncal

Manuela Bergerot Uncal is a Sumar politician and the current spokesperson for Más Madrid in the Assembly of Madrid.

Political career

Manuela Bergerot Uncal was born in 1985 and belongs to the younger generation of politicians that have risen within the Madrid-based left over the past decade. Publicly available biographical information on her early life and education is limited, but her political trajectory is clearly tied to the organisational growth of Más Madrid and, more broadly, to the coalition space that later converged around Sumar.

Her prominence increased within the regional institution of the Assembly of Madrid, where she became a regional deputy for Madrid and eventually the spokesperson for Más Madrid in the chamber. Since 2023, she has held that spokesperson role, placing her among the most visible parliamentary figures of the Madrid regional left. In that position, she acts as one of the main public voices of a parliamentary group that seeks to combine ecological politics, social protection, feminism and a strongly municipalist political culture.

Bergerot is generally described as one of the emerging faces of the Más Madrid / Sumar political space, a label that reflects both her institutional rise and the attempt by that space to refresh its leadership. Her trajectory has been shaped less by a long career in national office than by her work inside the Madrid regional arena, where visibility in parliamentary debate is often decisive for political consolidation.

Relationship with the public

Bergerot’s relationship with the public is best understood through her role as a parliamentary spokesperson rather than as a conventional personality politician. Her visibility comes mainly from institutional politics: interventions in the Assembly, media appearances tied to regional issues, and her position as a representative of the progressive opposition in Madrid.

Within civil society, her profile is associated with the kinds of issues that mobilise voters and activist networks linked to the Madrid left: public services, social equality, housing, feminism, and defence of the public sector. That makes her politically resonant with grassroots audiences in the city and the wider region, especially among voters sympathetic to ecological and feminist politics.

In media terms, Bergerot is part of a generation of politicians who rely on a blend of parliamentary communication and coordinated party messaging. She is not as nationally identified as some broader Sumar figures, but she has gained increasing exposure in the regional press because the Assembly of Madrid is a central arena of Spanish political conflict, especially due to the confrontation between the left and the governing right in the region.

Positions and political profile

Bergerot’s political profile sits squarely within the progressive, ecologist and feminist tradition associated with Más Madrid. She is identified with policies that emphasise:

• the strengthening of public healthcare and education,
• housing affordability and protections for tenants,
• social rights and welfare-state expansion,
• gender equality and feminist policy agendas,
• and broader support for environmental sustainability and urban policy reform.

She is generally perceived inside her party as part of the leadership renewal that Más Madrid has sought to project in regional politics. Her role as spokesperson suggests trust from the party apparatus and an ability to communicate the group’s line clearly in parliamentary confrontation. Outside the party, she is usually seen as part of the institutional face of a more socially interventionist left, though her public recognition remains more limited than that of the most prominent national leaders of the space.

A key feature of her political identity is that she operates in the Madrid regional political battlefield, where the symbolic weight of daily governance debates is high. This means her interventions often concern public service cuts, the cost of living, and the ideological clash over the model of society promoted by the region’s conservative leadership. Her defining political task has been to articulate an alternative that is both administratively credible and clearly rooted in the values of Más Madrid and Sumar.
