Minutes before voters head to the polls for the general election scheduled on July 23, the People’s Party launches a push to energize its supporters and close any gaps in turnout. In the opinion of the governing administration, the Alicante province holds a pivotal role in shaping the campaign landscape. Toni Pérez, the provincial mayor of Alicante and the mayor of Benidorm, was chosen to deliver a message on Wednesday about mobilization. He spoke at an event where he appeared as the deputy national secretary for Regional and Local Policy and has previously represented Madrid in the Senate alongside Pedro Rollán.
Renewal in PP: thirteen out of sixteen MPs will be new
We see a clear emphasis on maximizing voter participation to secure the changes that the province of Alicante and the country as a whole deserve. The party urged supporters to vote in person on July 23 or to cast ballots by mail as a reliable alternative. Carlos Mazón, the future head of the State Council, spoke as a leading figure within the party and reinforced the call to ensure high turnout. Alongside Mazón, notable party members César Sánchez, Agustín Almodóvar, and Silvia Fernández were introduced as part of the PP’s nominations for both Congress and the Senate. These selections reflect a larger strategy of infusing fresh faces into the next round of parliamentary representation. The emphasis throughout the event was on pushing for a broad mobilization and signaling readiness for national leadership changes that align with the party’s regional priorities.

all in danger
One recurring message from the party centers on the aim to end what supporters describe as sanchismo, presenting the upcoming electoral clash as a critical moment for both the Alicante region and the broader Valencia Community. The conversation highlighted concerns about national leadership and the potential consequences of a continued status quo. The event also sought to outline practical steps for voters, including guidance on how to participate in the absentee ballot process during the summer elections when many citizens are on vacation. Rollán urged everyone who doubts their ability to vote in person to consider voting by mail, stressing that participating in the election should not be tied to personal holidays. These remarks were framed as a practical pathway to ensure that participation does not decline even during peak vacation periods. The message underscored that voting remains essential to shaping the future direction of the country. Source: party communications and regional media.
The party also drew connections between recent municipal and regional outcomes and the national contest. With results from the May 28 elections showing strong performance at the local level, the PP highlighted that its continued gains in several councils could reflect broader national momentum. At the provincial level, examples of party strength included the leadership of a majority of elected mayors, which the PP used to illustrate a steady framework for nationwide influence. The overarching goal stated at the gathering was to translate provincial success into momentum for the general election on 23M, signaling that the party believes the local results foreshadow a favorable national tide. These observations were presented as part of a wider narrative about renewal, accountability, and renewed energy for governing in Spain. Source: regional electoral summaries and party briefings.
