Pepe’s Candidate Faces a Raucous Campaign Trail in the Autonomous Elections

Pepe’s candidate did not lift a foot in the autonomous elections that have lingered in the air since summer. In the first 25 days of the cycle, the public saw her appear before the media roughly forty times. Among those appearances, attention centers on the campaign’s breadth: a seaside cleanup in Benissa, though not exhaustive; a cycling ride through Paterna; gatherings with social groups; taxi-related outreach; and a focus on education, health, industry, and addiction services as topics of study. The candidate even touched cultural life by pausing to savor a paella during Grao festivities while also attempting to frame Mónica Oltra’s record, sporting a T-shirt bearing the slogan Save the Music, a visual cue that could echo through the year’s political narrative.
