Pepín Braña wants to be mayor of Gijón. The one who was for two decades president of the Federation of Supporters Clubs, as well as president of United Hobbies and director of the Sporting In the years prior to the conversion of the club into SAD, a new objective has been set and intends to present itself to the municipal elections of 2023 through an association that could be called ‘Gijoneses’. His first pre-campaign idea is reflected in one sentence: “We are going to fight so that all women who are about to give birth want to do so in Gijón and thus feel proud to have a gijonés “.
Suárez Braña has it clear: “Whatever happens, I’ll run for mayor from the city of Gijón in two years. In order not to present myself, I would have to be dead, “he says bluntly, making it clear that he already has support to promote an association that will be apolitical.” it’s not going to be a match. I will demand that those who join the association put aside their ideas to benefit Gijón, “he explains.
Assumes the personal and family cost It will cost you this decision, but makes it clear that it is not a momentary occurrence. “I am tired of hearing that people are fed up with politicians. I am not a politician. There will be those who say that I only know football, that perhaps I do not know how to read and write or that this will have occurred to me drunk in Ataúlfo. What happens, that if the PSOE presented me as head of the list (who would surely become mayor) it would be a different Pepín, who no longer drinks cider, who already knows how to read and write? I am the same Pepín and I am going to go to the elections in the open face, “he assured in an interview with BE Gijón.
José María Suárez Braña sees himself with real options to be mayor, convinced that “all those who knew my father will vote for son of Pin, the charcoal burner of El Llano“. The future candidate for mayor, meanwhile, works on the logo of his association, inspired by the image of The Escalerona and the ‘latronas’ of Gijón. The platform does not have headquarters for now, although any suggestion or contribution will be collected in the Casa Ataúlfo cider house, whose daily landscape is part of someone who aspires to surprise the next elections and who was already able to sit down with the international soccer elite during his time at the head of United Hobbies.
