Diego Figuera
Diego Figuera is a former member of the Más Madrid political party and a psychiatrist who recently announced his departure from politics after expressing his frustration with the hostile and combative nature of contemporary political discourse. At 65 years old, Figuera had a unique political career, balancing his role as a legislator with his responsibilities as the Director of the Ponzano Mental Health Center at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos. He was appointed to Más Madrid by former mayor Manuela Carmena to advocate for mental health issues, and he leaves behind a legacy of promoting discussions around mental health within the political arena. His resignation was marked by a poignant speech criticizing the deterioration of political civility and the tendency toward personal attacks, which he believes stifles meaningful dialogue and progress.
