“brave” people
Antoñanzas has stressed that “they are brave people who have decided to take a step through Logroño” and has influenced the different profile that all of them have “and that the neighborhoods are very present, which have been largely forgotten over the years.”
Because “we believe that Logroño has to be built from its neighborhoods” and “we are committed to finishing off the city, to unite all the areas and that the endowments are more distributed” in addition to “boosting trade”.
“We want to ensure that our young people have a future in our city and that Logroño is a pleasant place to live, inclusive and where we can all feel comfortable”, Antoñanzas stressed.
Regarding the possibility of becoming part of a coalition in the City Council, like this legislature, he stressed that “we are presenting ourselves to govern” because “from the government is where the lives of citizens are improved” and “when the time comes We will look for the maximum of coincidences and interest for Logroño”.
