Logroño, (EFE) autonomous life”.
Garzón has participated in Logroño in the electoral act “Transforming La Rioja for a better life”, together with the candidates of Podemos-IU for the Presidency of the regional Government, Henar Moreno, and for the Mayor of the Riojan capital, Amaia Castro.
In his speech, before some 300 people, the federal coordinator of the IU thanked the regional head of Podemos, Arantxa Carrero, for the “effort” developed to form a “unity” candidacy, thanks to which “the people of La Rioja have the opportunity to protect their present and their future”.
He has insisted that the left-wing parties “need to fight together” against the “reactionary” right-wing projects, which want to have the left “divided and fought.”
The federal coordinator of IU has stressed that, without public services such as health, education and pensions, “only a small proportion of the population would be free.”
For this reason, he has defended that these rights are “conquests” that “could disappear” and he has been convinced that the electoral programs of the “reactionary” right-wing contain the intention that these public services disappear, because these parties are committed to ” the cuts”.
determinants to change
Moreno, for his part, has stressed that only if it is “determinant will the policy be changed”, for which he has asked the voters “to contribute to placing the largest number of deputies of this coalition in the La Rioja Parliament”.
“If the survey by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) showed anything,” Moreno pointed out, “it is that it is possible to revalidate a progressive government in this autonomous community for public education, public health and the care revolution.”
She has highlighted that, in this last legislature, in which she has been an IU deputy in the La Rioja Parliament, she has had to “be the voice of the street in the institutions”, to “do such important things as the integration of the Hospital Foundation de Calahorra” in the Riojan Health Service (SERIS) because “we say what we think and do what we say”.
Castro, who is responsible for the Animal Welfare area of the Logroño City Council, has assured that, during this legislature, he has “demonstrated that the city can be transformed to protect people with a useful policy and made for the social majority.”
“Each year, we have increased social contributions by more than 1 million euros, and we have renaturalized the city for that great present and future challenge that is the climate emergency, but all this could not have been done without us in the team local government,” he said.
