Laura Fuentes, as regional coordinator of Podemos Canarias, has expressed in a note the “immense enthusiasm” with which the organization faces “the opportunity to redraw the archipelago that next year brings with it.”
In his opinion, “we are facing a moment of great citizen consensus in a popular and progressive key in the Canary Islands, which is reaffirmed with each step we take in the institutions and in the streets, and which represents a decisive impulse for the construction of a new horizon for the islands, sustainability and care”.
The highest regional leader of the purple formation also insists that Podemos Canarias “was born to bring the voice of the citizenry to the institutions, and after some primaries that revalidate the vote of confidence in the organization, a step is taken again to make the islands the place people dream of”.
Fuentes understands that this weekend’s events will be “another opportunity” to meet with the public, celebrate and discuss together the model that Podemos wants for the Canary Islands.
Also remember that the organization is currently immersed in the ‘Building the Future’ route, whose objective is precisely to “listen to people to collect their talent, their enthusiasm and their proposals for the coming cycle”.
