Angel Molla and Xelo Cascant councilors of the government team Wall selected by PP four years ago announced this Thursday they leave the municipal group and cease to be members, they also quit militancy. in the match they will hold their own nomination for municipal comedian next May constituency to bear his name. wall of progress . They will remain in municipal administration and will have the same powers as ever.Social Welfare, Education and Culture. .
This is how the rebel councilors showed Outright rejection of the decision of the regional leadership of the PP to do without them, as well as the rest of the existing group of municipalities before the next elections. As they explain, The people’s autonomous leadership expressed its intention to impose a candidate outside the group and the work being carried out. In the municipal administration since 2019. Mollá and Cascant got emotional at some moments of their speech and said: “We don’t deserve this treatment” not only now in power, after what they’ve done, but for 12 years when they were both members of parliament in the opposition.
Both entered the municipal company in 2007, although Cascant’s career as a PP militant has been even longer since he began seven years ago. Both emphasized “They didn’t fire us, we wanted to leave voluntarily” . “We left our skin and we worked day to day” He defended Mollá, the most mayoral candidate in 2019, 2015 and 2011. With a candidacy prepared by the local group and approved by the municipal administration, the party entered the elections “finished” and “under unbeatable conditions”. . “I use whatever is prepared to continue,” he added, but “at the request of the council members. “They didn’t give us the option to redo or arrange an internal refresh”, just an external “keep work” option your candidacy.
The mayor admitted “Maybe we’re paying the price for hiding initials in a government coalition” or the fact that you didn’t claim the mayor two years ago. In this context, Mullah argued: “We didn’t come to win the mayorship, we came to work for the Wall” , feel they have been proven to do so because “we led important councilors and it’s an important sacrifice”. The other popular candidate cited “disappointment” but also “maybe it’s a good time to part ways”. Cascant also claimed, “I’ve put the game up in good times and not so much in others.” “We have succeeded in running a government by putting aside abbreviations”,
Appointment of EU candidate Gabriel Tomás as mayor with the support of the four members of the PP and Ciudadanos, plus the support of number 2 on the left party list. This bizarre coalition prevented Compromís, the power with the most votes, from ruling despite having the same four councillors as the popular ones. Tomás and this fellow mayor, Kike Pascual, promptly resigned from the party they were elected to and remained independent throughout the term. Again, Despite this obvious ideological divergence, this government team’s career has been uneventful. ; The current Muro government team emerged after an unexpected event.
Possible distribution of votes
The submission of this new independent candidacy, predictable distribution of centre-right votes because it seems reasonable Most of the electoral support PP received in 2019 goes to Muro Avança . Moreover, it will not be the only local list to be produced in these elections. Gabriel Tomás himself will join with Xarxa Muro . In conclusion, Mollá and Cascant are optimistic about this scenario and do not believe the vote should be fragmented: “People will decide” they punished. “If they want to vote for people working for town from town, they’ll have us,” they stressed. More indirectly, emphasizing the municipal feeling of his candidacythey have made it clear that they desire to gain the trust of voters from a wider ideological spectrum.
council members Aida Martínez and Noelia Úbeda will remain in the PP municipal group for now Although everything points to this “make a smooth transition after the elections” they won’t be repeating and even joining Muro Avança in the end is not ruled out. . “It’s up to them to get on the list,” said Mollá and Cascant. In any case, what is clear is that the other two councilors supporting bandmates so far ; Martínez even staged it by going to a press conference where the diehards announced their withdrawal from the PP. The mayor also participated, thereby demonstrating that he agreed with the position of the aforementioned councillors.
Mollá and Cascant argued about the possibility of joining Xarxa Muro: Tomás “has already made the list” and the regional PP’s final decision to do without them was not communicated to them until last week.. Anyway, “We are open to an agreement with all powers”and “If we had any limitations on initials before, we don’t have that anymore” leaves the door open for agreement, even with Compromís or PSOE. Also, they insisted there are quite a few neighbors showing their support these are the last days
