The young Fátima Lemes did not think just a few months ago of being a Popular Party candidate for the municipal elections in Arona and today, after the results of 28M, she is the top favorite to become the first mayoress of the third most populous municipality in Tenerife. “I hadn’t even imagined being a candidate, but I’m ready to be mayor, just after obtaining the title of State manager,” she says.
The number one of the PP recognizes that there are already conversations with other parties, except with the PSOE. “You have to have a little patience and sit down and talk. There is a will to form a stable government”, because “the results have confirmed that the people wanted a change and logically with the PSOE I have neither sat down nor am I going to sit down, since they have not been able to steer the City Council, but they have with the rest of matches, so that the municipality can finally walk”, he said yesterday on Onda Tenerife.
Fátima Lemes removed five councilors, the same as Clari Pérez (CC), but with more votes, and one more than Dácil León (Más Arona). The current mayor, José Julián Mena, obtained eight. Vox achieved two and Nueva Canaria, one, but they do not count for the pacts.
In the municipality of Granadilla, everything is at the expense of what the Popular Party does, which, despite obtaining one fewer councilor (two), is decisive in giving the PSOE a majority, winner of the elections with 11 minutes, while the The current nationalist mayor, José Domingo Regalado, obtained 10 and would only add a majority with the two votes of the PP and the yes or abstention of the Vox councilor.
Jennifer Miranda (PSOE) hopes that Marcos Antonio Rodríguez, head of the PP list, will not support CC on this occasion, given the discrepancies with the two former popular leaders in the municipality, Marcos González and Yanira González, now nationalist councillors.
Something similar to Granadilla occurs in Arico, where Olivia Delgado won the elections for the fourth time, but she does not have the majority to govern, unless Arico Somos Todos, which has two councilors, supports her or votes for herself. on June 17. “We are in full internal debate,” said José Luis Hervella, head of the AST list yesterday, recalling that “we have not asked for the head of anyone (Olivia Delgado) to agree,” although he admitted that in Arico Somos Todos there are former socialist councilors, such as the elected Josefa García (2015). Hervella maintains that “we are not going to agree with those who have governed Arico in recent years”, in reference to CC, PP and the PSOE itself.
