From mayor of Colmenar to deputy in the Assembly

Jorge García dedicated almost his entire political life to service in Colmenar Viejo. First as a PP councilor and then as mayor, a position he reached in 2016 due to a court case by his predecessor.. The former councilor held the baton until this year, when he did not run for re-election.. “I think it is time for a new candidate to defend our project at the polls, convince the neighbors and manage the city with the dedication with which the four mayors that the PP has already had in Colmenar Viejo have done,” he said then..

We regret the death of the deputy in the Assembly and former mayor of Colmenar Viejo Jorge García Díaz. A hug to your loved ones and the entire Popular Party family.
