United and “not an election campaign”
The provincial secretary wanted to send a message to Carlos Mazón, head of the PP, after his explanation of this situation. “Instead of presenting the Generalitat president with a willingness to work in the same direction and with the same goals, Mr. Mazón has dedicated himself to renting and using water for his election campaign. Instead of looking for a solution, he only criticizes his opponent. Waterers need help, not confrontation. That’s why I ask Mr. Mazón to once again put the election campaign aside and contribute to this situation by building rather than destroying it.”
