In his management report, Robayna recalled the path initiated eleven years ago when “we made the decision to create a management team to regain the sovereignty and direction of Coalición Canaria in Haría”. He emphasized that that stage allowed them to recover the political pulse of the municipality, obtain five councilors, and advance important projects for Haría.
Robayna also championed the role of local committees as "the epidermis of society, those who listen, those who are on the street, and those who support the parties even when we are in opposition," and in this regard, he highlighted Aroa Revelo's "integrity" and potential to take on the leadership of CC in the northern municipality, as well as "her gift for teamwork."
