People’s Party, Canarian Coalition and Más por Arona prepare a pact to oust the socialist José Julián Mena from the Mayor’s Office of Arona. Despite prevailing in the elections last Sunday, with 6,088 votes and 8 councilors, Mena will not be able to reissue the command of the Mayor’s Office due to the intention of the other three most voted parties to unite to form the municipal government.
The popular, the nationalists and the new formation policy created these elections by councilors who The PSOE left the last mandate, they have enough councilors to achieve a majority: 13 of a total of 25 seats are needed in the plenary session of Aronero and this tripartite has 14.
More for Arona, who despite debuting in these elections achieved very good results -4 councilors-, has already given its support to a local government with PP and CC in which the mayor’s office is for the popular Fátima Lemes. This recognized Dácil Lionnumber one on the Más por Arona list: “We have started the talks and we have confirmed to the PP and CC the support for this pact”.
The question lay in which party would win the mayoralty given the small difference in votes between one and the other: the PP came second with 3,482 votes, CC was third with only 74 votes less and Más por Arona came fourth, only 313 votes behind the PP and 239 CC. “For Más por Arona there is no problem that the Mayor’s Office falls to the PP because, despite the little difference in the results of one game and another, it is the formation that has been second,” remarked Dácil León.
“The idea was to work for the aroneras and the aroneros in the opposition but due to the incredible results we have obtained, despite being a newly created party, we are going to support a government in which we are together with PP and CC,” León clarified. .
The number 1 of Más por Arona assures that the results obtained in the elections last Sunday are “very good but they do not take us by surprise.” «Despite having very few means, we felt very good vibrations during the campaign, a lot of support and affection on the street. This and the great work carried out by all the members of Más por Arona has allowed us to debut with excellent results and an important support from the neighbors”, he qualified.
PP, CC and Más por Arona have already advanced in the negotiations to form a government and allow the departure of the Mena Mayor’s Office. The socialist, on the other hand, has run out of partners to form a majority. Only Vox (two councilors) and Nueva remain Canary Islands (a mayor) and of these two only an agreement with NC would be possible. Mathematics is not enough.
