Valencia, Apr 16 (EFE).- The vice mayor of Valencia and socialist candidate for mayor, Sandra Gómez, has been convinced that “the bubble of the PP and Vox will be punctured in Valencia on May 28”, in the elections municipal.
This was stated during his speech at the closing of the PSOE Municipal Conference that was held this weekend in Valencia, in which the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the President of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig.
Gómez has said that she feels “proud” that the socialist municipal candidates have filled the Valencian capital “with illusion and work” and has predicted that Valencia will be “a city of the people, a socialist city” after the elections.
“I came to have a political responsibility because I was a lawyer against the corruption of the PP, because I was disgusted by the putrefaction in which they had left my land and I wanted to end it,” she recounted.
The socialist leader added: “I fought in the Noos case, I fought in the Gürtel case and I worked on a sentence against the former mayor of Gandia that has now been made public.”
CATALÁ ARRIVED BY THE HAND OF COTINO
Meanwhile, he said, the PP candidate for the city, María José Catalá, arrived “hand in hand with Juan Cotino, who brought condemnations for the pope’s visit to Valencia.”
“I was in the room listening to how he declared and how he said that they had done their own private business and how they ordered the Valencian public television to silence the pain of the subway victims, a shame,” he recalled.
Faced with this, he has said that he does not want to “return to having to defend the city from the corrupt” in court, but to beat them at the polls: “València deserves dignity, decency and honesty and I am presenting myself to give it to them”.
“We have another former mayor here, that of Gandia, Diana Morant, who has approved the Science Law to dignify the working conditions of researchers, just like the former mayor of the PP who is going to try jail next week”, has indicated.
In his opinion, “people know what the right offers: a stale, empty far-right, anchored in a past that tampers with our institutions until they degrade them with a ‘fake’ motion, and a lukewarm PP with the far-right because it wants to govern with them” .
“THE HOME IS NOT A MARKET GOOD”
Regarding the new Housing Law, he has said that “it will not allow the funds to expel residents from their neighborhoods, and it will make it very expensive to accumulate empty housing.”
Given this, the PP has said, “between siding with the majority or with the funds and speculators, it gives the excuse that the market must set the housing price because housing is a market good.”
“The home is not a market good, it is the most intimate and personal space of families, their only patrimony, where their children sleep, where they eat with their families, where they love the people they love,” he said.
He has told the candidates that the right “is not going to let” them talk about them, their projects and their management during the campaign, but that they are going to dedicate themselves to “manipulating, muddying, intoxicating and lying”.
“But people know which party was by their side in the pandemic, which party has raised pensions, has guaranteed decent jobs, people know that we are theirs,” he predicted.
He concluded by ensuring that “people do not forget what they did when they governed, corruption, debt and cuts.” EFE
