Loli Benlloch|València (EFE) candidates for the May 28 elections in the Valencian Community these fifteen days of the campaign that is about to end.
With otitis or behind the wheel of the van
The president of the Generalitat and socialist candidate for re-election, Ximo Puig, was caught in the central campaign event, held at the Science Museum together with Pedro Sánchez, with otitis, although he took it humorously and stressed that “there are things It is better not to hear them”, especially some “atrocities” of the PP, before which he would stay “with otitis for a long time”.
The vice president of the Consell and head of the list of Compromís a Les Corts for Alicante, Aitana Mas, has been the driver of the van with which she and her team have traveled to campaign events: due to her pregnancy she would get dizzy if she was sitting behind or as a co-pilot, and only at the wheel did his nausea attenuate.
For several campaigns, the van with which Joan Baldoví travels to electoral acts has been known as “La Baldoneta”, and Ciudadanos also tried to give his name a name, although he finally stuck with “La ruta naranja”. ”.
A-Mazón, Ximoexpress and El Boss
Political rallies include relaxed moments, in which the “easy joke” fits, as the PP candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón, admitted: when comparing electoral proposals, he said in an act that sometimes you ask for something for “A- Mazón” and it arrives by “Ximoexpress”, so that the “great chair” that gives you massages at the end is “a folding chair that there is no way to assemble”.
The rush of the people who acclaim you in the central campaign events led to confessing that they made the Compromís candidate to preside over the Generalitat, Joan Baldoví, feel like “the fucking Boss”, who had to finish the central rally in Alicante under an umbrella held by party co-spokesperson Alberto Ibáñez, as the initial drizzle had turned into a downpour.
The meteorology of the Valencian campaign has combined rain and heat, so that at the central meeting of the PP in the bullring of Valencia, Mazón came to confess: “Duc una suà… mare meua!”, and just in case the heat of That day it gave some scare to the popular candidate for mayor, María José Catalá, eight months pregnant, in the first rows of the square there was a gynecologist, a midwife, two nurses and a doctor, supporters of the party and friends of these.
A very surprising thing and an unknown candidate
Another confession of this campaign was carried out by the president of the national PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, who explained in the bullring that he has learned a practice here that he was unaware of, that of tardeo: “At 7 in the afternoon you start with tardeo, it is a very surprising thing”, he affirmed in an act in which he ended up singing the song ‘Libre’ by Nino Bravo, present at the rallies of almost all the parties.
It must have seemed surprising to the mayor of Valencia and candidate for re-election for Compromís, Joan Ribó, that a lady ran out of a hairdressing salon with dye on to greet him on a visit to the Orriols neighborhood, and Ximo Puig the interruption made by a man of an act in Dénia to say that we are living a conspiracy.
Mention was made of the retouching of the candidates on the electoral posters by Mazón, who at a rally in Burriana with his image behind him spoke “of this handsome boy that I don’t know who he is, because how they remove your wrinkles, your double chin , they make you younger…”, and he revealed that his wife told him: “Who is that?”
There has also been room in the campaign for some sustillo, such as when in an act a man lifted a span from the ground to the very pregnant mayor of the PP of Valencia – “The emotion has been able to me”, he affirmed before the shouts of the livid team of the candidate- , and more pleasant moments, such as when Catalá met a tuna on the street who put the ribbon cape on her and sang “Mujer” for her.
And sometimes he leaves the rallies with a gift, like a flower or some chess books in the case of the Unides Podem candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat, Héctor Illueca, a fan of this game who has also been challenged by several people. to a game
