Arrimadas launches its list to direct Ciudadanos led by MEP Adrián Vázquez and the Balearic Patricia Guasp

MADRID, 23 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The spokesman for Citizens in the European Parliament, Adrián Vázquez, and the coordinator of the Balearic Islands, Patricia Guasp, presented their candidacy this Friday to lead the 'orange' party, a list that also includes the president, Inés Arrimadas, but does in last position.

Vázquez and Guasp are running for party general secretary and spokesperson, respectively, since under the new two-headed party leadership model --which has to be endorsed at the Extraordinary Assembly in mid-January--, the organic and political parties they will be separated. The running mates have played a leading role in the refounding.

They are accompanied by Madrid City Councilor Mariano Fuentes, in charge of the Urban Development Area, and the current party Organization Secretary and coordinator in Navarra, Carlos Pérez-Nievas. The first chooses to be deputy secretary general, while the second does so to national coordinator, as reported in the presentation of the candidacy, in the Plaza de las Cortes.

Other recognizable names from the party also appear on the list, such as that of deputy Guillermo Díaz, who will be running for a vice-spokesperson. The deputy mayor of Madrid, Begoña Villacís, is also integrated, but at the moment her position on the list is not known.

This candidacy will face that of the current Deputy Secretary General, Edmundo Bal, in the primaries that will take place on January 9 and 10. Days later, on the 14th and 15th of the same month, the Extraordinary Assembly will be held, in which the militancy must approve the proposed changes and which will mean the culmination of the refounding process launched to revive the party after the succession of electoral debacles. .
