Spanish term or phrase: marcha política
"Alcalde promueve con mentiras la marcha política del agua"

"El interés del alcalde es repuntar en las encuestas por cuenta de la marcha política que la izquierda planeó para llevar su candidato al Senado"

I don't get exactly what the translation of this would be here (and it's clearly not a march/protest/rally). Thanks!

movement to protect water


Explanation:
Following the discussion (and Muriel's helpful suggestion), I'd go with something along these lines. Though making explicit what's only implied in the source text (i.e., explicitation) is certainly an option, I'd be more inclined, in this case, to leave any reference to one movement (with capital letters) to the reader to interpret for him or herself (as this was the author's approach with the source text).

march is politicized


Explanation:
I found the article you are translating (see the web reference below). What the writer really means is: "The march for the water is politicized". In other words, the promoter of the march is taking a sensible issue such as the water in order to get adepts for his political movement.

disagree  Alex Ossa: There isn't a march that has been politicised, it's a complete concept political march, so to speak... except that the text doesn't seem to be talking of a specific march (nor does the poster think it is), but rather a political movement.
