Hundreds gathered this Saturday at the recently opened municipal building located at 16 Avenida de la Generalitat. The inauguration marked Ciudadanos El Campello’s readiness to engage with residents at the heart of the municipality while introducing the top names on its list. Numbers 2 and 3 on the slate stood beside party members as representatives prepared for the elections scheduled for May 28. The scene underscored a commitment to closer ties between the party and the people of El Campello, highlighting how the campaign will unfold in the towns and neighborhoods ahead of the vote.
The event drew together campelleros, neighborhood associations, and party affiliates. The presence of national deputy José Ignacio López-Bas and regional counterparts in Les Corts, Fernando Llopis and Rosa Menor, along with José Miguel Saval and several mayors from across the country, reinforced the scale of Ciudadanos’ local and national network, according to party sources. The gathering served as a platform to showcase the candidates and reaffirm the party’s priorities at every level of governance.
The program lasted about an hour and featured remarks from Julio Oca, the coordinator, spokesperson, and mayoral candidate for Ciudadanos El Campello. He was joined by the two list leaders, Juan Pablo Baeza and Mercé Pairó, who spoke about the road ahead and the responsibilities the party seeks to assume in the next administration.

During the event, Oca thanked attendees for the warmth shown during his remarks and reflected on the legacy of the current legislature. He recalled the period when Ciudadanos El Campello managed key departments. Services and Cleaning, Social Welfare, Beach Occupation, and Public Roads are cited as examples where the party led the charge to maintain safety and efficiency amid challenges. The discussion highlighted how the coalition experience shaped everyday life for residents and how governance improved with a focus on public safety and service delivery.
Oca also emphasized Ciudadanos’ ongoing work in institutions, including accountability and the fight against corruption. He pointed to moments when the government partner faced consequences for actions that misused public trust and underscored the party’s stance on integrity and transparency. He argued that responsible governance must escalate accountability when a partner acts against the public interest, noting that the citizens themselves are the ultimate guardians of stewardship at the local level.
Campaign Updates
Both Baeza and Pairó joined the discussion, stressing the urgency of the moment for El Campello. Baeza described the town as facing serious challenges that require practical, action-oriented solutions rather than mere debate. He urged the community to look beyond partisan divides and move toward concrete steps that address long-standing issues. Pairó, the current mayor and the newly appointed campaign manager, offered a personal reflection on leadership. She highlighted the work done in Social Welfare and the Women’s Department, especially during difficult times when rapid, coordinated responses were essential to protect vulnerable residents. Pairó described the commitment as a daily, around-the-clock effort to safeguard the well-being of those most in need and to support families across the town.
