Belda clarifies that “she will not allow” her to be displaced for working, for complying with a program and for having left a group within the Cabildo in a good place.
“I am not going to allow myself to be treated as if I had done something that went against the principles that I defend and allow all the work that has been done under my spokesperson to be taken from me,” he insists, while recalling that 732 votes from the primaries of 2019 supported his candidacy as head of the Cabildo list. It is for this reason that from now on she will remain as a non-attached “representing those who voted for her”.
