Esther Díez, known as Est, leads the project after prevailing in the primaries against Marian Campello, the current regional secretary for Innovation. Est will be number 2. Rural Felip Sánchez, the current council member for Trade, Energy Efficiency and Development from Girişim, holds position 3. It was disclosed on Monday that the fourth spot goes to Marina González, aligned with the same political line as the candidate. The fifth place will be taken by Héctor Cámara from Més.

The party, which already holds two council seats in the municipal council and has governed for eight years in coalition with the PSOE, is revealing the names of several prominent figures on its list. They include former Cáritas director and the mayor of Carrús, as well as the director of Clot de Galvany. Three independent women linked to the Misteri a Margalló Ecoologists en Acció and the education sector were also given special positions on the candidacy.

Reconciliation priorities for Elche

The candidate stated, “These choices from Compromís are aimed at the collective well‑being of Elche’s residents and at supporting neighbors with a new generation. Social rights and robust public services are essential for a better standard of living.”

Topping the list, one priority is to craft policies that guarantee decent housing without forcing people to choose between groceries and rent. Díez noted that, in addition to the Zoning Law, there should be a coordinated effort between the Generalitat and the City Council.

Health policy, Díez argued, is another cornerstone of the welfare program put forward by Compromís. The proposals emphasize strengthening primary healthcare and maintaining 100% public service across the municipality, a response seen as necessary in the wake of the pandemic.

On education, the candidate argued that this is one of the areas where progress has been most evident in this term. The Edificant Plan should continue, with benefits such as free preschool from ages 0 to 3, access to schooling, and free school meals. The network of books also participates in the baccalaureate and the maintenance of school meals.

In addition, Díez proposed a model for green cities and neighborhoods, focusing on sustainable mobility, urban transformation and the naturalization of spaces within the city.

The program also highlights a commitment to an innovative economic model that supports education and aims to build a competitive, sustainable economy that creates quality jobs.

Díez argued that true welfare democratization requires a municipal government that coordinates 21st‑century policies and a consistent, principled approach. Compromís aims to push this transformation further, with a broader footprint in the next term.

A slogan contrasting with PSOE and PP

“Some say you go out to win. We go out to improve people’s lives, without spin or empty promises about rights. With rigor, responsibility and the determination demanded by a political moment that tests our prosperity.”

Campello emphasized that Compromís presents a candidacy made up of people from Elche, working across the city and districts. The list is designed to advance social justice for culture and heritage, for feminism, and for the ecological transition. It also positions itself as a guarantee against far‑right governments that threaten the most vulnerable groups, especially women.
