Ciudadanos presents 800 lists for the municipal ones, less than half than in 2019
Faced with doubts and rumors, concrete data. Ciudadanos seeks to appease the trickle of departures in recent times and the uncertainty predicted by the polls by taking electoral muscle: the Liberals, in figures similar to those of 2015, will present lists for the municipal elections in 800 localities, including all the capitals of province. They are less than half of those presented in 2019, when the party achieved some 1,900 local lists.
In this way, as determined this Monday by Adrián Vázquez, general secretary of the oranges, around 80% of Spaniards will have the option of voting for Ciudadanos in their municipality on May 28. In the ranks of the party they celebrate that up to 15,000 people will be part of the liberal lists in just one month.
“We are presenting ourselves to be decisive in the future of the transformation of Spain,” said Vázquez, without specifying what the electoral objective of Ciudadanos is on May 28.. Sources from the party leadership do point out that they have good feelings in places like Córdoba, Alicante, the Balearic Islands, Ciudad Real or Madrid, among other points of geography, and they cling to the upturn that the polls have shown since December, although still very far from achieve representation in many regions and mayoralties where today Ciudadanos does have a strong weight.
“There will be a clean, reformist party with a liberal center. The only alternative capable of leading a party of progress and freedom,” said the leader of the party, Patricia Guasp, who celebrated that the presentation of the lists is a push to “reinforce and widen the space of the liberal center” in our country.
Ciudadanos is now preparing for the final stretch of the race to the polls and will combine its thematic events -it has already held one for families and another for housing, and is now preparing another for birth- with the electoral campaign, which will open in the Balearic Islands and close in a great act in Madrid.
