Alicante (EFE) in the Council
To questions from journalists before taking the traditional photo of the candidacies for the general elections to the Congress and Senate for the Alicante constituency, in the city’s port and next to the tourist Explanada de España, Mazón has stated that he still does not know the date of the investiture session in Les Corts Valencianes.
“Yesterday I reached out again, and I no longer know how to do it: sometimes from the complaint, other times from the smile but of course with the utmost institutional respect” so that “this transitory stage can be resolved as soon as possible ” after “president (Ximo) Puig has made that definitive gesture, which I hope will happen soon”.
Mazón has stressed, in any case, that he wants to be “respectful” with the calendar set by the Les Corts table “so that we can move forward in complying as soon as possible with what the citizens of the Valencian Community have decided.” “I don’t know if I am optimistic or pessimistic, but I am respectful of this process and I hope that everyone is,” he warned.
Relay in the Provincial Council of Alicante
Accompanied before the informants of the number one in Congress, Macarena Montesinos, and the mayor of Benidorm and provincial president of the party, Toni Pérez, one of his possible successors as president of the Alicante Provincial Council, Mazón has been asked about the replacement process at the head of the provincial institution, which he still presides over.
At this point, he has revealed that during his four years as president of the Provincial Council he has defended the autonomy of this institution in decision-making and has added that, “as it could not be otherwise”, the name of his successor will be will choose “from the province of Alicante” and not “from an office in Valencia”.
“You know that I have been fighting and defending the autonomy and weight that Alicante deserves all my life, and that the decisions of the province should not be made from an office in Valencia”, he indicated before adding that now that he “is on his way ” from an office in the Valencian city, will be “the first to respect the decisions of the Provincial Council”.
He has reiterated that this type of decision will be adopted “in the province of Alicante when the provincial management deems it appropriate” and depending on what the legal times advise, and has added that, when this occurs, he will travel to Alicante as a more militant to support the decision.
The change in Spain
The photo of the candidacies of the PP to the Congress and Senate for Alicante has been produced, as it happens in each electoral process, in the port of Alicante a few meters from “the Explanada, at the foot of the castle of Santa Bárbara and next to Postiguet beach, how can it be otherwise” to display some lists that will try to help “change in Spain”.
He has ensured that the popular candidates will work so that Alicante stops being “the red lantern in everything”, especially in the territorialized investments of the State, where the province has occupied the last position of the 52 constituencies of the country in the last two years.
“In the General State Budgets, a province has never been the last two years in a row, and in fact there are provinces that have never been the last” while Alicante “continues in the red lantern along with Valencia and Castellón”.
In the same way, he has ensured that his fellow party members will work in the Upper and Lower chambers for an improvement in regional financing and to try to solve the water problems in the south of the Valencian Community.
