I was clear. Last week, Jose Luis Sanz He told us in the classic campaign interview that he had very good feelings about the result of the municipal elections. “The polls tell us that the Popular Party has been rising little by little and that the Socialist Party has not stopped going down little by little. In neighborhoods where the majority votes for the Socialist Party I notice anger with Pedro Sánchez’s party”. The electoral turnaround is a fact and he will be the new mayor of Seville after the severe setback suffered by the left.
The popular ones won the elections with 14 councilors, surpassing the PSOE (12) by just over 22,000 votes difference and absorbing Citizens, who was left without representation in plenary. The expected. Sanz will take the baton of command on Saturday June 17 without the need to agree with Vox, which achieved three councilors. The sum of lefts (the confluence of Podemos-Izquierda Unida remained in two councilors) does not exceed the sum of rights.
Recover the Mayor of Seville (he will be the third popular mayor after Soledad Becerril and Juan Ignacio Zoido) is for the PP confirmation that the Juanma Moreno effect is still in force one year after his absolute majority. One of the keys has been how the president of the Board has led him by the hand in the campaign. He was present up to six times. Sanz’s team will be made up of Minerva Salas, Juan Bueno, Álvaro Pimentel, who appears as an independent after his departure from the orange formation; Ángela Moreno, Juan de la Rosa, Manuel María Alés del Pueyo, Blanca Gastalver, Ignacio Flores, Evelia Rincón, José Luis García, Amidea Navarro, José Lugo and Silvia Pozo.
Already as mayor, Sanz thanked the support of the 132,000 citizens who have voted for him and He guaranteed that he will govern for all Sevillianswhether they voted for it or not. He understands that the victory of the PP means that the people of Seville want their city to function again and recover much of the space that it has lost in recent years, and he guaranteed that he won a project for the future for all. “I want to be mayor of all Sevillians, whether they voted for me or not, because our project for change is for everyone and for this city to function again and be safer.”
His first steps as mayor are already clear to him. The most urgent thing is tackling the cleanliness problem. His intention is to put a manager in Lipasam who will implement a crash plan in the shortest possible time. Mayor of Tomares for 14 years, he wants to repeat the successful model implanted in that municipality of Aljarafe in all the districts. The formula is effective, close, moderate and ambitious management to achieve excellence. And for this reason he has gone to the elections with a battery of 20 projects with which to demonstrate that change is necessary in the capital. From completely changing the face of Seville East to turning the Guadaquivir into the great avenue of the city.
The other side of the coin was the Socialist Party. The national drift due to the policies of Pedro Sánchez stole a good handful of votes from Antonio Muñoz, who lost a councilor and more than 12,000 votes. Since the election of Juan Espadas (who was mayor on two occasions) to discuss the Junta de Andalucía with Juanma Moreno, the setback is obvious. The results in the regional elections were the worst in the history of democracy for the PSOE-A. And, now, to that is added the loss of the Sevillian municipal government.
The acting mayor regretted that in the result of the elections the national noise was “heavier” and announced that “a time of reflection is opening to analyze the behavior of each of the districts in a more detailed way.” After remarking that he feels “tremendously proud” of what has been accomplished in the eight years that the PSOE has been in charge of the Mayor’s Office, he explained that “I feel tremendously proud of the achievements, of the objectives, of the projects that are launched, some completed, others not, as a result of the blessed pandemic. But I feel very, very proud. Surely much more can always be done, but without a doubt I believe that we have a balance of which we should feel tremendously proud”. Despite the work carried out “and the objectives we have achieved”, the socialist candidate acknowledged that he “has been able to overcome the noise of national politics”. Despite the slogan Seville and only Seville“with an attempt on our part to focus the debate on future problems and projects, more issues that have been present during the campaign have been able to.”
Ciudadanos was left out of the plenary session by not obtaining enough votes, repeating what happened in the last regional elections on June 19. Its four councilors went to the PP. The same fate has suffered Adelante Andalucía, whose candidate, Sandra Heredia, does not even manage to keep her seat in the Plenary hall. Start a new legislature with only four parties in the Corporation.
