More for Arona dismisses the rationale put forth by the mayor, Fátima Lemes, regarding the expulsion of four council members from the local government. She characterised the decision as “straightforward, politically motivated”, as well as “a significant error”, “opportunistic” and “improbable”, according to spokesperson Dácil León. She emphasised that “CC and PP are facilitating the rise of the far-right, and the associated risks threaten the advancement of the municipality, hindering social, cultural, and equality initiatives,” referring to the integration of Vox into the governing body.
