Pontón calls for "massive participation": "Galicia can make history"

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, 18 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The BNG candidate for the presidency of the Xunta, Ana Pontón, has called for "massive participation" and encourages Galicians to come to vote with "excitement and hope" on a day in which Galicia "can do history".

This was declared before the media this electoral morning after going to vote at the CGAC and she was the earliest candidate to exercise her right to vote.

"I voted with great enthusiasm, with great hope and I know that today there are thousands of Galicians who share that enthusiasm and hope with me and who will go to vote to build the Galicia that they want and dream of," he noted.

On this day, Pontón added, Galicia "can make history" and that depends on what citizens decide with their vote, which is why he encouraged "massive participation" as the community "plays" the present and the future.

When asked by the media about whether there will be a change in the autonomous government, Pontón stressed that this is for the Galicians to decide on this election day and has agreed that Galicia "is at risk of opening a new era."

"If all the people who want to open this new time vote, then I am sure that will be the case," she praised, while noting that she is "calm, happy and excited."

Finally, Pontón explained that he will spend this day with his family and in the late afternoon he will go with his training colleagues to monitor the day.
