The mayor of San Bartolomé, Alexis Tejera, has died this Monday, just over a month after making public that he suffered from ALS. Tejera had made his illness public on October 6, when he sent a letter to the residents of the municipality and the media, pointing out that he was doing so as an exercise in "transparency" with the entire Corporation.
Tejera has been working in the Consistory until the disease has allowed him. "I don't know how much time this disease will give me to continue performing the responsibility of being mayor of the municipality where I was born, but I assure you that whatever it is, I will continue to live it with all the love and vocation in the world," he said in that letter. The socialist mayor leaves behind a wife and a young son.
Alexis Tejera joined the PSOE in 2009, and in 2011 he ran in number seven on the list to the Cabildo. Later he was number two on the list to the City Council of San Bartolomé and in the 2019 call he headed the socialist list to the municipality, obtaining an absolute majority.
