Besteiro, who cordially greeted the members of the electoral table after casting his vote in the ballot box, expressed his gratitude to "all the social agents" who participate in the electoral process and emphasized the importance of regional elections that , he said, can "mark history."

"I encourage everyone to go out and vote. With your vote is how you mark history, today is a historic day for Galicia and I want the more people to vote, the better, to participate in the history of Galicia and the future of Galicia", he stressed.

The PSdeG candidate for the presidency of the Xunta de Galicia has concluded his brief intervention by stating that he will live the rest of the election day "like any Galician man or woman." "The rest of the day will be a normal day, a Sunday morning day. Then I will go to the headquarters of our party in Santiago where I will follow the end of the election day and the counting, but it will be a normal day," he indicated.
