On January 23, 2022, the mayor of Los Realejos, Manuel Dominguezbecame the new president of the Popular Party in the Canary Islands and the person called to lead the popular candidacy for the regional Presidency. Four months ago it was assumed that the realejero president would have to leave the Mayor’s Office sooner rather than later to focus on his new role as party leader in the eight Canary Islands. The identity of his substitute has been an open secret because, since 2007, Adolfo González Pérez-Siverio was always Domínguez’s right-hand man, his spokesperson and his substitute in opposition tasks and, above all, in government. He will be the next royal mayor.

He is a professor of Plastic Arts and Design at the Fernando Estévez Higher School of Art, which has allowed him to never receive a municipal salary.
He has also been director of the Murga Archibodies for more than a decade and in his artistic facet he treasures numerous individual exhibitions of painting and photography, with various awards as a graphic designer and poster artist. An art and travel lover, he knows a good part of Europe and has traveled to Central America three times.

Since the first year of Domínguez’s government, Adolfo González has been his spokesperson and first deputy mayor.
Between 2011 and 2015, Adolfo González assumed the first tenure of Mayor and the areas of Personnel, Contracting, Internal Regime, General Services, Culture, Historical Heritage, Public Buildings and Projects and Works.

From 2019 until now, he has continued as number two in the local government and responsible for Institutional Relations, Employment, Commerce, Local Development Agency and Major Projects. In recent months he has replaced Manuel Domínguez on numerous occasions and in the next few days that replacement will finally become official.
A blessed relay
The current mayor of Los Realejos and president of the PP in the Canary Islands, Manuel Domínguez, has made it clear publicly and privately that his replacement at the head of the City Council should be his first deputy mayor since 2011, Adolfo González Pérez-Siverio. Domínguez has shown no doubts about the suitability of his next successor, emphasizing that he has given ample evidence of being able to stand at the head of the Consistory. He has said that it is not only a matter of personal affinity, although they are friends, but of ability and political trajectory. One term in the opposition and three in the real government have convinced Domínguez, who has always considered him his right hand, a substitute at the head of the Corporation who has never failed him.
