A member of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE),[5] Sánchez, who had worked at the Assembly of Madrid as technician and as associate researcher for the UCM's Department of Applied Economy, was elected the Coordinator of United Left of the Community of Madrid (IU–CM) in December 2012.[1][3] He handed in his resignation as Coordinator of IU–CM in December 2014, following the victory of Tania Sánchez in the party primaries to elect a candidate to challenge the Presidency of the Community of Madrid.[6]
