"They are safe values ​​in a better list than the previous one", Villacís has reviewed about a list in which only four ediles repeat

MADRID, 11 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The deputy mayor of Madrid and CS candidate for mayor, Begoña Villacís, announced this Tuesday the names that make up the electoral list with which she will contest the elections on May 28 to "transform" the city and in whose project The councilors Mariano Fuentes, Silvia Saavedra and Miguel Ángel Redondo remain faithful, with the support of Santiago Saura closing the candidacy.

In an act held at the Hotel VP Plaza De España in the capital, Villacís has detailed the new names that are incorporated into his "new commitment" to the electoral race in a list that he calls "better" than the previous one and transformative to take away to Cibeles a "loyal and clean" policy.

There are 57 names, "brilliant" profiles and from civil society, who join the candidacy led by Villacís, including the former president of the Madrid Assembly Juan Trinidad. Santiago Saura, until now delegate of the International Area, closes the list, symbolically for his desire to return to the university but with the conviction that the 'oranges' will continue to be "determinants" for "the good of Madrid".

"They are safe values ​​on a better list than the previous one," the politician and lawyer has outlined, insisting that what happens in Madrid in the next municipal elections on May 28 will have "great significance" at the national level.

"There are people who did not want to enter the 2019 list because politics today is not attractive and it is difficult to take the step. We are not oblivious to the difficulties but we are very optimistic with the surveys that indicate that Cs is going to enter and it will be very decisive," he said.

The electoral list is made public after the abandonment of at least five of the eleven orange mayors. The first to announce their break with the party were Pepe Aniorte and Ángel Niño. Added to the losses are Alberto Serrano, Concha Chapa and Sofía Miranda.

Regarding her departure, the mayoral candidate has limited herself to pointing out that the people who were on the list "knew it perfectly" and the councilors who have broken with the party were aware that she was not going to count on them, without wanting to dedicate time to think about these losses.

Rigorously white and with a wide smile, the 'orange' leader in Madrid has not missed the opportunity to throw slaps at the PP for its negotiations with orange exediles, stressing that the greatest value of her team is integrity and honesty.

"Integrity is very important in politics and one thing we can congratulate ourselves on is that yes, I have said no to being mayor twice and it is what I would like most in the world and I am going to fight for it," he stressed. .

Villacís is accompanied as 'number two' by the delegate for Territorial Coordination in the Madrid City Council Silvia Saavedra, followed as 'number 3' by the person in charge of Urban Planning Mariano Fuentes, of whom he has said that "many parties would like to have him", and the delegate of the Economy Area Miguel Ángel Redondo.

In her speech, the deputy mayor stressed that Ciudadanos is aware that these upcoming elections are "the most transcendental that the formation as a party faces", which is why they present a list that has been worked on and is better than the previous one.

"If the 2019 elections were very important and included a team of experts in technocracy to address the first stage of government, now it is a much better list than the previous one," he noted, recalling the difficulties that have faced these years such as the pandemic and claiming his achievements in a coalition government.

Along these lines, he stressed that what has been his team in Cibeles has not offered scandals and has had "the opportunity to show that they are loyal and upright." "There are no examples of others having the opportunity to be mayor and I have rejected it because for some the word is very important," she has reviewed.

He has also drawn from the achievements of his councilors such as the milestone of Mariano Fuentes in unblocking the Chamartín operation or promoting the strategy of the southeast developments with the largest bag of affordable homes.

In the same way, he has praised the work of Miguel Ángel Redondo in charge of the Economy Department of the Capital City Council with his commitment to sectors such as video games or his aid to the self-employed.

The deputy mayor has also boasted of Saura's work to transform the international area of ​​the City Council and make Cs the most Europeanist party, making the capital look abroad.

After that, he has reeled off the names on the list, which includes profiles that come from the educational sector, the field of law and the economy, or from technology sectors.

Miguel Ángel Redondo is followed on the list by Hugo Moreno, Belén del Pozo; Eduardo Torres, Ana Garcia Grimau, Juan Trinidad; Belen Ortiz; Alejandro Fernández Vega, Cramen Gutierrez Moreno; Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, among others.
