The intention of the Popular Party (PP) to seek a fourth councilor still stands. They fell within a handful of votes of him and his candidate, Ana Zuritait was already advancing on election night that they were going to “fight” him. Yesterday it was reaffirmed, and indicated that they were analyzing the minutes. If the popular councilor achieved that, Drago would lose it, and the scenario would undergo a radical change in the municipality.
Zurita, after a cold reading of the results, said she was “satisfied” to go from fifth to third in La Laguna. “We have reversed a situation that was decreasing: 6 in 2011, 4 in 2015 and 2 in 2019, and in these elections we have managed to turn it around,” he said. The elected mayor also referred to hypothetical alliances between the Socialist Party (PSOE) and PP: «Even President Feijóo was asked about the pacts with the most voted list, which in this case would be the PSOE. And I think that in Santa Cruz there is a rumor going around. But I can say that we would never accept the offer of the PSOE to agree, because in the course of the campaign we have met many people who wanted a change and who do not agree with the way of doing things of the government of La Laguna ». .

If the current distribution does not change, in the center of the local political board are Drago and his leader, alberto rodriguez, who is silent. “For now he is not going to give statements,” they indicated yesterday from his team. Meanwhile, the PSOE and Unidas se Puede (USP) live with uncertainty about what will happen with the pact of the left.
The Socialists obtained 10 representatives and the United, 2. Thus, the absolute majority –14 councilors– would be possible with the two acts of Drago. But his decision is unknown, not only because they have not demonstrated, but because of Rodríguez’s background and clashes with both Podemos and the United Nations candidate, Rubens Ascanio, who even sent him to see La Laguna when he announced that he was leaving. would present to the municipality.
This Monday, on the other hand, Ascanio advocated an alliance. «I think that there is a majority of progress and it is feasible to find viable and lasting points of agreement. Beyond a strategic disagreement and the mistake of confronting electorally in the same ideological space, I maintain a good relationship with Alberto and we have already started contacts », he assured. For his part, the current mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutierrez (PSOE), said that there will be time during “the next few days to talk about the programs and political project of the PSOE and the formations that are on the left.”
After the silence of Alberto Rodríguez there may be his integration into the pact or support from outside for it. But, because it fits, there are also other possibilities, such as staying in the opposition, agreeing with the PSOE but without the United Nations -and inviting that other party to provide external support from the opposition bench- or going to apply for mayor’s office
