In Alcoy’s 2023 municipal race, the Popular Party’s candidate, Carlos Priest, has continued meetings with the PP municipal group to review the opposition’s work and to plan a unified strategy for the elections in May. Priest and party colleagues emphasize that close alignment between party structure, the municipal team, and the candidate will present Alcoy as a credible and dependable option, especially if the city is to be steered away from current detriments. This teamwork, they argue, makes their campaign unstoppable.
The chaplain highlighted that when the party framework and the local leadership move together, the community will see them as a serious alternative ready to lead Alcoy forward. He underscored a shared commitment to presenting a clear path for the city and to challenging the status quo that has held Alcoy back.
Mazón replaced Quique Ruiz as PP candidate in Alcoy with Carlos Pastor
Carlos Pastor expressed satisfaction with the PP’s municipal group in the town hall and praised the opposition for its energy and productivity. Pastor said, “We are fortunate to have the most active and effective opposition councilors in Alcoy. We will stay vigilant and explain to residents why Alcoy deserves better.”
Pastor noted that the opposition has maintained sustained work over time and announced ongoing, permanent cooperation between the candidate and councilors in a joint plan of action. This collaboration aims to deliver a continuous and coherent strategy for city governance.
Aim to unite the center-right vote
Recently, Pastor spoke about a major milestone: bringing together the center-right vote around the PP to form a real, coherent, and credible alternative that can drive the city forward. He explained this goal after learning about his appointment at the end of September. Pastor argued that fragmentation among conservative voters only helps the PSOE, as seen in prior elections.
He urged like-minded residents to recognize Alcoy’s urgent need for a new direction. Pastor warned that the city could not endure a prolonged impasse and stressed his commitment to making the PP a household option for all moderate voters. He emphasized the responsibility to offer Alcoy an electoral alternative that unites the broader center-right community. The overarching message was clear: Alcoy merits decisive change and a clear plan to move the city ahead. Attribution: local political reporting on Alcoy municipal elections.
